The Gold Seal of Approval and the Heart-Check mark represent symbols of quality from their respective organizations for excellence in stroke care. The hospital is also a member of Covenant Health's stroke hospital network, which links Covenant Health's member hospitals in providing our region with access to rapid diagnosis and treatment of stroke. Methodist's Wound Treatment Center team of physician specialists and nurses help patients with conditions such as diabetic wounds, venous stasis ulcers, and radiation wounds. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy ("HBOT") is one of several advanced treatment options available at the center. HBOT stimulates the formation of new blood vessels, improves flow of oxygen to tissues, and increases formation of fibrous tissues, helping patients recover from non-healing wounds. Methodist operates three Hospitality Houses which provide free temporary lodging to cancer patients and their families who must travel to Oak Ridge for extended treatment. The houses also are available to other patients needing long-term treatment as space allows.
