Welcome! We invite you to experience the Forest Health Medical Center difference!

FHMC is different from either a general medical hospital or a large university medical center. We provide you with specialty surgery and personal care by the best specialty surgeons and staff.

Just like the major medical centers we have the latest modern equipment and facilities, but that is not what makes us different. The personal care you will receive is unlike the typical impersonal healthcare offered in most large university medical centers. At FHMC we are committed to caring for you as our family.

Hand - Median Nerve Wrap

Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on the median nerve in the wrist. Surgery involves cutting the ligament and releasing it from the nerve. This works for most people, but some experience recurrent symptoms because of scarring. The median nerve wrap involves grafting a vein (or other wrapping materials) around the median nerve to protect it, decrease pain and prevent further scaring.
