Mercy Health has renamed its wound care center after a doctor who was instrumental in getting it off the ground.  

The center was renamed Friday morning to the Felix A. Pesa Wound Care Center.  

It has been open since 1999, but it was recently renovated.  

A third hyperbaric chamber was added recently to The Felix A. Pesa Wound Care Center to keep up with the growing demand.

Since the center opened, more than 7,500 wounds have been healed at Mercy Health Youngstown.
