Profile
The Hyperbaric Medicine Group is a diversified firm based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Company is engaged in the business of establishing and operating Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy ("HBOT") facilities throughout the United States.
HMG is different because we understand that each Health Care System is different. We realize that each hospital is unique with very specific needs. Instead of trying to make your organization fit into our program, we will create a hyperbaric program that will suit your individual needs.
The Hyperbaric Medicine Group was founded in 2001 and is affiliated with several key organizations, which assist in carrying out the three-fold mission of the Company, which is:
- To bring the healing powers of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to all those in need at an affordable price
- To implement standards of excellence for safety, professionalism and research in Hyperbaric Medicine, and
- To provide comprehensive, ongoing consulting and management services to diversified healthcare organizations interested in building and developing Comprehensive Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine Centers.
