Wound Care
Moberly Regional Medical Center offers specialized outpatient care for non-healing wounds. The team of doctors, nurse practitioners and nurses provide treatments to promote healing of chronic wounds and help patients recover as quickly as possible.
Patients may be referred for wound care by a primary care physician (PCP), health care professional (HCP), or by self-referral. The wound care physician will complete a history and physical, order diagnostic tests, if indicated, and determine a plan of care following evidence based guidelines. Treatment will focus on the causation of the wound, co-existing conditions that impact wound healing and topical wound management. The PCP, referring physician or HCP will be provided patient progress reports, and patient will be returned to their care after discharge.
We provide care for:
- Diabetic ulcers
- Neuropathic ulcers
- Pressure ulcers
- Ischemic ulcers
- Venous insufficiency
- Traumatic wounds
- Surgical wounds
- Vasculitis
- Burns

- Other chronic, non-healing wounds
To determine the best course of treatment, we will do a thorough evaluation of your wound and current health status. Health care professionals who specialize in wound healing will educate you about the cause of your wound, and keep you informed throughout the healing process. Most treatments could be covered by Medicare/Medicaid, HMOs and other private insurance plans.
