Hyperbaric Medicine, a rarity in rural healthcare, offered in our region
OLEAN, NY – Arthur Goldstein, MD, medical director of the Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine, is nearing his thirteenth work anniversary as a provider at Olean General Hospital (OGH). Over the course of the past thirteen years, Dr. Goldstein has witnessed tremendous progress at The Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine which is located on the OGH campus in the Gundlah Dental Center at 623 Main Street, Olean, NY 14760.
“Having hyperbaric medicine treatments is very unique to a small-town hospital,” said Dr. Goldstein. “Typically, this service is only found in larger cities like Buffalo, Rochester, and Erie.”
The hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a treatment in which patients are enclosed in a pressurized chamber in which the patient breaths 100% pure oxygen at a higher atmospheric pressure. This higher pressure increases the dose of oxygen allowing the body to promote wound healing and help fight infections.
Last year, the Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine celebrated as it performed its 10,000th hyperbaric oxygen treatment since it’s inception in 2007. The treatment is effective for slow healing wounds including diabetic ulcers and radiation treatment complications. Patients are normally treated daily, Monday through Friday, and are efficiently in and out of the office within two hours.
Other than the hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatment, the wound center also offers different procedures to the community. A few of these procedures and treatments include compression therapy for venous ulcers, lymphedema management, treatment for pressure ulcers, tissue/bone biopsy, compression therapy, and other advanced specialty wound care treatment/dressing. The team focuses on providing the patient with an advanced level of care, individuality and patient specific treatments. Through a collaboration among the wound center team, the use of a comprehensive approach to not only to heal the wound but improve conditions and reduce the risk of reoccurrence.
“A lot of the conditions we see most common are ulcers from a variety of causes; diabetes, varicose veins, and blood clots, and leg swelling/edema, pressure ulcers, and radiation therapy,” Dr. Goldstein stated. “We have an experienced and dedicated team that are patient focused and provide excellent care to our patients.”
Since starting in 2010, Dr. Goldstein highlighted how the Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine has never been closed due to weather, or any other extreme circumstances.
“My team and I live and work in our community. This makes it easier for us to be here for our patients when they need us the most,” said Dr. Goldstein. “I’ve been here for thirteen years and I feel like I’m a part of this community. I have always practiced in a small-town. I love the connection you can build not only with the community but with our patients, they get to know me, and I get to know them.”
The team typically has about 300 to 350 patient visits per month. The work doesn’t stop only in the office but they also provide the community with various health-related education. Recently, Dr. Goldstein and his team conducted an educational presentation to the local first responders about carbon monoxide poisoning and treatments.
The Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine is open 7:30am to 4pm, Monday through Friday. Referrals are not required for an appointment. To schedule an appointment, please call (716) 375-7577.
The Wound Clinic at Bradford Regional Medical Center (BRMC) is another service that’s offered to the community. The service is led by LaTroy Navaroli, DNP, and has an experienced team that evaluates and treats a variety of chronic wounds that may be caused by diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, and other medical conditions. The Wound Clinic at BRMC is open Mondays and Fridays from 8am to 3:30pm. Appointments can be made by calling (814) 362-8245 and referrals are not necessary.

Arrows That Pierce the Heart
by Pastor B.J. Knefley
Through out our lives there are times that our hearts get wounded. These wounds often come from the words uttered by people. David said the following in Psalm 64:3, “Sharp tongues are the swords they wield; bitter words are the arrows they aim”. I have learned through personal experience and through the counseling of others that it is not unusual for the one firing the arrows to believe that they are doing what is right. Their motives, from their standpoint, are pure. Yet we all need to be aware that any one of us can become the unwilling and unknowing tool of Satan.
There is a saying that I have often used which states the following: “You are most dangerous to the Kingdom of God when you are right”. The reason for this is that we often will major on what we believe is right and use it as a reason to attack others who we believe to be wrong. In our zeal for our own correctness we inadvertently put down and condemn those of differing views. Through out the Gospels we find many instances where the religious leaders of the day were in conflict with Jesus. Their conflict centered on their understanding of the Law and this ultimate conflict led to the crucifixion of Christ. Sadly, they believed that they were right and justified in what they did.
It is my personal belief that most of the arrows that are directed at us through the words of others are not coming out of an evil heart. They honestly believe that they are doing what is right. To change this one needs to focus on Christ and His spirit. In other words, we need to check our motives and thoughts through prayer, much prayer. We also need to seek out others who are spiritual so that we might receive their insight. This means not seeking out those who will agree with us, but to those who we know will speak frankly. If we are on the receiving end of the arrows we need not to retaliate. We need to allow Him to fight our battles. This will mean resisting the temptation to fight back. It will mean practicing the meekness of Christ and extending forgiveness in our hearts so that we don’t build up bitterness and resentments towards others.
Think about it.

Timber, Orphan Well Plugging Focus of Budget Hearing Questions As chairman of the House Environmental Resources and Energy Committee, I was in Harrisburg this week to participate in state budget hearings with the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) and the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
