A regional clinical care platform
Metro East Health combines primary care, wound care, skilled home and facility support, and practical communication across the Illinois side of the St. Louis region.
Clinical oversight, chronic-condition follow-up, medication context, and a practical plan when established primary care is unavailable, outside the referring network, or disconnected from the next phase.
Explore primary care supportAssessment, treatment planning, wound monitoring, caregiver education, and escalation for chronic, surgical, pressure, diabetic, venous, and other complex wounds.
Explore wound careA clearer next step after hospitalization, surgery, rehabilitation, or facility discharge—especially when the outpatient pathway is delayed or fragmented.
Explore post-discharge supportAdded clinical reach for skilled nursing, assisted living, rehabilitation, home health, hospice, and community settings that need a dependable escalation pathway.
Explore setting-based supportCare planning that considers diabetes, edema, vascular risk, mobility, nutrition, medications, pressure exposure, and the factors that shape healing.
Explore chronic-care supportPractical coordination with hospitals, primary care, specialists, facilities, home health teams, patients, families, and caregivers.
Explore care coordinationThe continuity problem
Metro East hospitals and care teams describe the same breakdown: the patient’s PCP may sit outside the system, skilled home or facility cases can exceed available staffing, and clinical information stops moving. Metro East Health is structured around that exact gap.
Create a practical path when the established PCP is outside the referring network, unavailable, or unable to manage the next phase.
Add primary care, wound care, and follow-up reach across homes, facilities, and post-acute settings when local teams need more capacity.
Maintain communication among the referring team, clinicians, facilities, home health, patients, and families so the plan does not disappear after referral.
Two audiences. One coordinated system.
Patients, families, and caregivers
Share where the patient is, what kind of care is needed, and who to contact. The team reviews it and comes back with the next step.
Hospitals, physicians, facilities, and care teams
Send the setting, clinical need, PCP status, urgency, and best contact. The Gateway care team reviews it and comes back with next steps.
The Metro East model
Metro East Health gives patients and care partners a local path while routing intake, clinical review, and coordination through Gateway Wound Care’s broader system.
Illinois Metro East coverage
Metro East Health coordinates inquiries across St. Clair County, Madison County, the Riverbend, Monroe County, Clinton County, and nearby communities. Exact availability depends on clinical fit, location, licensure, payer participation, and scheduling.
Local access, shared infrastructure
Metro East Health gives Illinois patients and referral partners a local team to call. It works hand in hand with Gateway Wound Care so people do not have to start over when a case crosses geography, setting, or referral source.
Limb preservation
Non-healing diabetic foot ulcers and circulation-related wounds can put the foot or leg itself at risk. Across the Metro East, we treat these as limb preservation cases: structured visits, close monitoring, and early escalation to podiatry and vascular partners, so a change in the wound never waits weeks to be seen.
