Mobile Wound Care Across the St. Louis Metro

Gateway Wound Care covers the entire Greater St. Louis metropolitan area — a region with one of the highest concentrations of skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and home-bound patients in Missouri. Our nurse practitioners travel to homes and facilities across St. Louis City, St. Louis County, and the surrounding counties so patients can receive specialty wound care without a clinic trip.

Patients we serve are typically discharged from Barnes-Jewish, SSM Saint Louis University Hospital, Missouri Baptist, Mercy South, and similar acute care hospitals, then need ongoing specialist wound care at home or in a facility. We pick up where the acute setting leaves off and stay involved until the wound is closed or transitioned back to a community provider.

Every visit includes a full wound assessment, photo documentation, dressing change or debridement as indicated, and a clinical note sent back to the referring physician. We work alongside — not in place of — home health and primary care.
