Wound Care
OUR MISSION
 The JPMC Wound Management
Center's mission is to provide the citizens of Mayfield, Graves County,
and the Purchase Area with specialized services to promote healing of
chronic and acute wounds and improve their quality of life.
A wound of any type will hinder a person from living their lives to the
fullest potential. We can help get them back to living a productive life
and being free of the burden of a non-healing wound as quickly as
possible. At the Wound Management Center we will meet this goal with the
expertise of our multidisciplinary team.
