Gateway Wound Care — Kansas City sends in-home wound specialists directly to your home, assisted living community, or skilled nursing facility across the Missouri side of the KC metro.
Chronic and complex wounds are common among Kansas City's growing senior population — residents of Lee's Summit, Independence, Blue Springs, Liberty, Raytown, Gladstone, and the broader KC metro MO area. Getting to a wound care clinic can be difficult or impossible for patients dealing with mobility limitations, diabetic complications, or post-surgical recovery.
Gateway Wound Care — Kansas City deploys board-certified nurse practitioners directly to where patients live. Whether that's a private home in Lee's Summit, an assisted living community in Independence, or a skilled nursing facility near Truman Medical Center, our NPs bring specialist-level wound assessment and treatment to your bedside — without the transportation burden, without the ER wait, and without the exposure risk.
We are the Kansas City expansion of Gateway Wound Care LLC, the same Missouri-based mobile wound care practice that has served the St. Louis metro. One LLC, the same clinical model, the same Medicare acceptance — now available across the Missouri side of Kansas City.
Patients who are primarily home-bound due to diabetes, vascular disease, mobility issues, or post-surgical recovery benefit most from in-home wound care. No arranging rides, no parking, no waiting rooms.
ALF residents often have multiple co-morbidities that complicate wound healing. We partner with care teams at assisted living communities throughout the KC metro to provide consistent wound management on-site.
Discharge planners at Truman, Centerpoint, Liberty Hospital, Saint Luke's East, Research Medical Center, and North Kansas City Hospital rely on us for smooth transitions to home wound care after complex hospital stays.
Physicians and nurse practitioners managing diabetic patients, post-surgical patients, and patients with vascular disease can refer directly — online, by phone, or fax to our HIPAA-compliant fax line.
Our nurse practitioners are trained in advanced wound management for a broad range of chronic and complex wounds commonly seen in the KC metro's senior population.
Getting started is simple — for patients, family members, and referring care teams alike.
Call (314) 689-1320, submit a referral online at woundcarekc.com/refer, or fax patient documentation to (314) 689-1318 (HIPAA-compliant). Discharge planners can send orders directly.
Our care coordinator confirms insurance eligibility and schedules the initial visit. We work to have a plan confirmed the same day you call — usually within a few hours.
A board-certified nurse practitioner visits your Kansas City MO home or facility, performs a thorough wound assessment, initiates treatment, and establishes a continuing care plan tailored to the patient's specific wound and co-morbidities.
We currently serve the Missouri side of the Kansas City metro within a 50-mile radius, including these communities:
Also serving Kansas City proper (MO), North Kansas City, Grandview, Belton, and Lees Summit-area zip codes. Kansas-side expansion (Overland Park, Leawood, Olathe) is planned for a future phase. Call (314) 689-1320 to confirm coverage for your zip code.
Discharge planners, hospitalists, primary care physicians, and SNF directors throughout the KC metro can refer patients directly. We accept referrals by phone, online, or fax and aim to follow up within one business hour of receiving documentation.
