Championing Access & Innovation in Wound and Hyperbaric Care
Mission
At the Wound and Hyperbaric Association (WHA), our mission is to unify patients, clinicians, healthcare institutions, and industry stakeholders in a shared commitment: to improve access to high-quality, evidence-based wound and hyperbaric care. As a coalition-driven voice, we advocate for reform that advances safety, equity, and value across the continuum of care. We believe that thoughtful, data-informed policy change—at both the state and federal level—can eliminate barriers to healing, protect the sustainability of care delivery, and foster the kind of innovation that leads to better patient outcomes.
