Legacy Emanuel Medical Center
has opened a multi-place hyperbaric
oxygen therapy chamber, the largest
in Oregon. Hyperbaric oxygen
therapy is a method used to treat
difficult-to-heal wounds caused by
diabetes, circulatory problems, radia-
tion therapy, and other conditions.
The chamber can accommodate up to
12 patients at a time.
According to Legacy, hyperbaric
oxygen therapy is a new option used
for treating wounds that don’t heal
with standard approaches and com-
plements Legacy Emanuel’s current
wound-care practices. The therapy
will be used in the treatment of a
broad range of acute and chronic
wounds,
including
traumatic
injuries, diabetic foot ulcers, burns,
ischemic flaps/grafts, radiation-
damaged tissue or bone, and chronic
bone infections. During the treat-
ment, patients breathe pure oxygen
within a pressurized chamber
through a clear plastic hood or mask,
in daily 90-minute sessions over 20 to
30 sessions.
“Oxygen under pressure acts like a
drug when it dissolves into the blood,”
explained Dr. Enoch Huang, the pro-
gram medical director for Hyperbaric
Medicine/Wound Healing for Legacy
Emanuel
and
Oregon’s
only
fellowship-trained,
board-certified
hyperbaric physician.
“This helps speed cell repair and
form new blood vessels, which in turn
assists in the healing of wounds,”
Huang said. “Repeated exposure to
pressurized oxygen gives a lifeline to
ischemic tissue, boosts the effects of
some antibiotics, activates white
blood cells to fight certain infections,
reduces tissue swelling, and pro-
motes the healing process of specific
chronic wounds.”
Hyperbaric medicine services are a
component of Legacy Emanuel’s ex-
tensive wound-care services and will
be used to treat both adult and
pediatric patients. Initially it is
available only during outpatient
business hours, but eventually it will
operate 24 hours a day, seven days a
week. Legacy Health is partnering
with OxyHealth Group, a national
provider of hyperbaric technology.

Tips to help Oregonians avoid fraud and imposter phone scams

Every year Oregonians lose
thousands of dollars to telephone
scams. Last year, Jeff D. from Silver-
ton, Oregon, learned his aging father
wired $1,300 to a scammer in Paris,
Texas.
The scam was simple. A caller told
his father over the phone that he had
won $350,000 and a GMC Denali.
There was just one catch — his father
had to pay the taxes before he could
claim his prize. Jeff never thought
something like this could happen to
his father.
“These people are masters at
manipulative techniques,” said Jeff.
“They prey on the emotional status of
people who want to help their family
and others.”
In commemoration of World Elder
Abuse Awareness Day, which was
held June 15, Oregon attorney gener-
al Ellen Rosenblum released a “Just
Hang Up!” campaign to educate
Oregonians about imposter scams
and fraudulent phone calls.
To launch the campaign, the Ore-
gon Department of Justice has distri-
buted hundreds of posters to retire-
ment centers and state agencies
throughout Oregon. The poster
includes six tips when you should
“Just Hang Up!” These situations
include if the caller:
w Asks you to wire money or buy a
prepaid card
w Says you have won a prize or a gift
but you need to pay fees or taxes first
w Asks you to visit websites or
download software
w Asks for usernames, passwords,
account numbers, or your home ad-
dress
w Says the offer is only good for
today
w Asks you to keep the call a secret
“Scammers will say anything to
cheat people out of money,” said
Rosenblum. “Some seem very
friendly — calling you by your first
name, making small talk, and asking
about your family. They may claim to
work for a company you trust, or they
might even say they work for a
government agency. If you receive a
call you weren’t expecting, look for
the signs it’s a scam outlined in the
new campaign, and don’t worry about
being impolite. JUST HANG UP!”

“His confidence keeps going up,”
Padres manager Andy Green said.
“He has the stuff.”
Perdomo displayed an effective
fastball with reliable secondary
offerings against the Marlins.
“My
pitches
looked
great,
especially my sinker,” Perdomo said.
“I used my slider to strike out a lot of
guys and my fastball as well.”
Fernando Rodney pitched a two-hit
ninth to remain perfect in 13 save
chances. The Padres won for just the
second time in 21 series finales and
for the fourth time in 22 day games.
Justin Nicolino (2-4) gave up five
runs and 10 hits in 4 2/3 innings.
“Nico has to be razor sharp,”
Marlins manager Don Mattingly
said. “And some of his pitches were
getting too much of the plate.”
Suzuki reached on a dribbler up the
first-base line in the first. Norris, a
catcher, made a sliding attempt to
field the ball and throw it in one mo-
tion, but Suzuki had raced past the
bag. Suzuki advanced to second on
Martin Prado’s single and scored on
Christian Yelich’s RBI single.
In the ninth, Suzuki lined a double
to the right-field corner against Rod-
ney, then took off his helmet and
waved it to applauding fans. The
crowd, announced at 20,037, gave Su-
zuki an ovation as both teams’ play-
ers applauded for Suzuki as well.
“Ichiro is a really special player and
I love to see him get this and keep his
march going toward 3,000 hits,”
Mattingly said. “It says a lot about
him as a player, how he prepares
every day and his love for playing.”
Green seconded Mattingly: “He’s
special. There are people in your life
which you’re privileged with com-
peting against and you get to manage
against. He’s as good as there is.”
Upton’s second homer of the series
tied the score in the second, and
Miami took a 3-1 lead in the fourth on
J.T. Realmuto’s RBI single and a
sacrifice fly by Miguel Rojas.
Ryan Schimpf, recently called up
from Triple-A, cut the gap with a
sacrifice fly in the bottom half, and
the Padres took a 5-3 lead in the fifth
when Norris hit a two-run single and
scored on Upton’s single.
Wil Myers added an RBI double in
the sixth against Nick Wittgren.
Miami had two on in the sixth when
Myers ranged from first to make an
over-the-shoulder catch on Miguel
Rojas’ two-out flare to shallow right
field.
