Northwest Ohio Treatment Center Gets Its Due

We are pleased to report the Toledo Blade today has made up for overlooking an independent Northwest Ohio treatment center with two multiplace chambers. See our February 24 post, "Sara's Garden: Two Multiplace Hyperbaric Chambers in Northwest Ohio Before UTMC Toledo." In today's story, "Wauseon nonprofit delivers hyperbaric treatment," we learn more about the family origins and impressive commitment of Sara's Garden. And the more we learn the more we understand how the mindful practice of evidence-based hyperbaric medicine varies all across our community.

Sara's Garden: Two Multiplace Hyperbaric Chambers in Northwest Ohio Before UTMC Toledo

The University of Toledo Medical Center (UTMC) claims it "houses northwest Ohio’s only multi-person chamber for hyperbaric oxygen therapy."* The good people at Sara's Garden in nearby Wauseon, Ohio, politely beg to differ. Development director Matt Rychener reminds us his center operates not one but two multiplace chambers: their original 5-person and a new 10-person device, pictured right. This information has been published in our Ohio treatment center directory all along. But please note that UTMC is a hospital-based treatment center and Sara's Garden is an independent hyperbaric clinic. CLICK HERE to learn more about hyperbaric treatment center types.
