Dr. James Williams hired at Kennedy Hospital in Cherry Hill

Williams has been named medical director of the new Center for Advanced Wound Care and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at Kennedy.

Dr. James Williams has been named medical director of the newly opened Center for Advanced Wound Care and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at Kennedy in Cherry Hill. Chronic wounds affect 6.7 million people in the U.S. and the incidence is rising, fueled by an aging population and increasing rates of diseases and conditions, such as diabetes, obesity and the late effects of radiation therapy.

In his new role, Williams will provide clinical leadership and care, along with Kennedy’s team of wound care specialists at the center, which offers leading-edge treatments for non-healing wounds, including: hyperbaric oxygen therapy, negative pressure therapies, bioengineered tissue and biosynthetics. Once a patient’s chronic wound is healed, they are returned to their primary care physician to continue non-wound-related care.

Williams joins Kennedy’s new Center for Advanced Wound Care & Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at Kennedy — Cherry Hill from the Community Based Outpatient Clinic in Camden. A graduate of Howard University College of Medicine in Washington, D.C., Williams is board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine, and completed both his residency in internal medicine and fellowship in infectious diseases at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia. He resides with his family in Swedesboro.
