Most popular product or service: We currently provide comprehensive wound care and hyperbaric medicine services in multiple locations throughout Georgia and Texas in both freestanding and hospital management contract arrangements. We utilize state-of-the-art hyperbaric equipment in both monoplace and multiplace configurations and currently have the largest rectangular multiplace east of the Mississippi river. We stay cutting edge with the appropriate use of bioengineered skin substitutes and other wound products, as well as advanced wound debridement techniques in the care and management of non-healing wounds.

Company description: Our company staff has decades of clinical and technical experience and expertise that we have utilized for the growth and expansion of our service lines. We also provide detailed consulting services to hospitals and other entities on multiple levels to assist the client in obtaining, building, and eventually managing their own hyperbaric service. This is a positive offering in that our clients can realize more of their own revenue in a shorter period of time as an alternative to years of a confined management contract. We can utilize these concepts in assisting client’s transition from management arrangements to solidly stand on their own.

Most popular product or service: Our most popular service is our research arm that has conducted more than 50 clinical trials in wound healing for both pharmaceutical and medical device companies. We can assist through all stages of product development from the design of the product, regulatory approvals, meeting with the FDA, reimbursement issues, protocol development, and conducting trials in our centers. Our research was recently featured in USA Today. And associated with research is our education program that provides the most up-to-date protocols in the wound care field to hospitals, physicians, and nurses across the country.

Company description: SerenaGroup™ began in 1997 with the overflow from a busy general and vascular surgery practice and grew organically into a wound care and hyperbaric management company. Increased demand for the service resulted in establishing new clinics and by 2005 there were 14 operational wound clinics in western PA. It became abundantly clear at that time that the science behind accepted wound-care procedures was limited.

  NewBridge Medical Research™, a wholly owned 501(c) 3 was established in 2006 to advance the science of wound healing and to establish best clinical practices. Since that time, NewBridge has conducted over 50 clinical trials—four of which were funded by the NIH—published over 100 peer-reviewed papers, and given more than 250 invited presentations worldwide.

  Oxygen 8™ was established to meet our immediate need for an HBO program and after confirming the viability of HBO operationally, we decided to expand our efforts to other areas of the US. In 2008 we opened two additional wound care and HBO Centers in our core market and have since opened clinics from New York City to Tulsa, OK.

CFWH operates over 35 wound care centers with various institutions across the US including new additions in IL, CA, IN, MI and rapid additions on the horizon.

  We contract with hospitals to manage their wound care facilities. We are responsible for the management of the center including patient scheduling and all non-medical staff, and we assist the hospital in its billing of patient services, which are billed directly by the hospital to insurance companies. We also are responsible for designing and installing the necessary leasehold improvements of the hospital-provided space and supplying the appropriate furniture, fixtures and equipment, including the hyperbaric chambers, used in the wound center.

  Through medical leadership based upon a multi-disciplinary team of physicians and defined clinical standards, CFWH is committed to achieving extraordinary patient results while simultaneously providing both physicians and hospitals with professional and economic opportunities. Our company requires a multi-year contract with the hospital providing for a fixed or variable fee schedule based on the services provided.
