Putting the fun back in life is the main focus at the new Center for Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine, and on Thursday, the public is invited to tour the facility and learn how these advanced treatments can heal a non-healing wound.

The center, at 2300 S. Clear Creek Rd., Suite 101 in Killeen, is hosting an open house and ribboncutting event from 5-7 p.m.

Key speakers will discuss the oxygen chambers and treatments, and patients will be available to share their healing stories.

The facility is the only wound care center with hyperbaric chambers located between Waco and Austin.

Operating on an outpatient basis, the center treats diabetic/neurotrophic ulcers, pressure ulcers, arterial and venous vascular ulcers, traumatic or surgical wounds, infected or non-healing wounds and small burns (not more than 10 percent total body surface area).

The center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
