A facility to treat patients with chronic wounds has opened at Hays Medical Center. Dr. Kirk Potter is the medical director for the Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Center. He says before this facility opened, patients had to travel to Garden City or Hutchinson for treatment.

            At a ribbon cutting Thursday Potter said the Hyperbaric chamber can be used to speed the healing of wounds, as well as, treat emergency situations such as smoke or carbon monoxide inhalation.
