If you have a wound related to vascular disease or diabetic foot ulcers, Charcot foot, or deep vein thrombosis, you need the support of a multidisciplinary team that can help reduce the chance of serious complications – including amputation. The team at Forrest City Medical Center works together to provide quality care that can include hyperbaric oxygen therapy or reconstructive surgery.

Forrest City Medical Center’s wound care team includes podiatry specialists, cardiovascular specialists, orthopedic specialists as well as rehabilitation and dietary staff.
