MADISON, Ga. - Feb. 19, 2018 - PRLog -- The International Hyperbaric Medical Association (IHMA) is pleased to announce HBOT2018, the 12^th International Symposium for Hyperbaric Medicine, being held in Denver, Colorado, August 10^th-12^th, 2018.

This conference has assembled many of the leading specialists from the United States and around the world, who will present the very latest discoveries, research, cases and protocols, combining hyperbaric treatment in animals and humans.

Commented Greg Morgan, M.D., President of the IHMA, "Our mission is to improve public health by implementing high ethical and scientific standards for hyperbaric medicine, educating the medical community, decision makers and policy experts about the benefits of hyperbaric medicine and adjunctive therapies; and working to make HBOT more universally available and affordable. We believe these efforts will eventually lead to most hospitals in America having a hyperbaric center available for both inpatient and outpatient treatments. Collectively, we can increase access to safe and effective hyperbaric oxygen therapy across the globe."

HBOT2018 Conference & Expo will focus on a multitude of topics within Adult Neurological Disorders; Treatment Pre-Conditioning and HBOT; Pediatric Care and HBOT; Chronic Infectious Disease; Addiction, Pain Management and HBOT; Hyperbaric Research and Treatments with Animals; Other Modalities and HBOT Protocols; together with new Hyperbaric Chamber Accreditation Standards.

The IHMA has introduced new standards that are setting them apart from any other hyperbaric organizations.

·       Establishing a Government Relations Committee, where they continue advocacy as the only hyperbaric medical organization with registered lobbyists in Washington, DC, to better educate policy makers.

·       Leadership Through a Scientific Advisory Committee, who support and direct successful research efforts for existing HBOT protocols and expansion of promising new indications, including traumatic brain injury, cancer and many others.

·       Maintaining a historical practice of meeting with local, state and federal legislators while presenting valid data to governmental and private health care providers.

·       Standardize tiered levels for hyperbaric therapy by developing an inclusive structure for three tiers of treatment, to provide safe guidelines for the full range of global practitioners, as appropriate for their scope of practice.

·       Expand HBOT Reimbursements by working with clinics to support increased HBOT reimbursements, where treatments are effective and appropriate.
