Wound Care Center

A wound that does not heal is frustrating, time-consuming and expensive. If you are not seeing significant improvement in a wound's healing process within a few weeks, consider a specialty consultation with Shawnee Mission Medical Center's Wound Care Center®. Our team of experts includes medical and surgical physicians of various specialties and a nursing staff with advanced training in wound care - all working together in a single location, looking at one chart.
