Jebson Hyperbaric Medicine Facility as providing elite hyperbaric treatment to patients across Iowa and the remaining Midwestern states. The team includes specially trained physicians, respiratory therapists, biomedical personnel, and other technical support staff with additional training in critical care treatment, advanced life support, and diving and decompression medicine.
