The team at the Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbarics at Southwestern was treated to lunch by one of their patients as a token of his appreciation.

After severely burning his foot while racing his modified car, Garry Little knew something wasn’t right. The wound was extremely painful and not healing. But thanks to a friend’s advice and some determined research, Garry found his way to the Center for Wound Healing & Hyperbarics at Southwestern.

According to Garry, he chose the Center for Wound Healing for their affordability and fast access. In fact, he was seen within two days.
“Everyone was great! I received exceptional care. They made the whole process so easy. I highly recommend them.”

To show his appreciation, Garry even brought lunch for the staff. A small gesture that meant a lot to the team who helped him heal.

Now, Garry’s back on his feet and looking forward to enjoying time at the lake while the summer sun’s still shining.

The Center for Wound Healing & Hyperbarics is proud to help patients like Garry heal and get back to doing what they love.
