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.

Pain Management

Platelet rich plasma injections

Platelet rich plasma injections use your own blood to increase the speed of healing from injuries and to decrease chronic pain. Conditions which may benefit from the use of this procedure include back and pelvic injuries; pubic symphysis; sacroiliac (SI); shoulder, elbow, hand, wrist, hip, knee and foot joint problems; and tendon and ligament injuries such as, tennis elbow, bursitis, and meniscal tear. The injections work by enhancing the body’s own healing process.
