WARE — Carlotta Vachon has joined the Baystate Mary Lane Wound & Hyperbaric Medicine Center in Ware.

Vachon will see patients at the center, which offers leading-edge treatments including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, negative-pressure therapies, bioengineered tissues, and biosynthetics to reintroduce the body’s innate ability to heal.

She joins the staff after previous experience at Brigham & Women’s Hospital as well as Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital both in Boston. She belongs to the Society of Critical Care Medicine, the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, and the Assoc. for Vascular Access.

Chronic wounds affect more than 8 million people in the U.S., and the incidence is rising, fueled by an aging population and increasing rates of diseases and conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and the late effects of radiation therapy.
