Mercy Medical Center’s Wound Care Center is dedicated to the provision of state-of-the-art, outpatient clinical wound care. The coordinated use of a variety of clinical treatments, debridement, medicines, dressings and support services to treat problem wounds has proven highly effective in facilitating the healing process. Patient care at the Wound Care Center focuses on a whole body approach to wound healing.
