About us

Care that crosses the river to you.

Metro East Health exists for one reason: too many people on the Illinois side of St. Louis go without the wound care and medical attention they need, simply because getting to it is too hard.

For people with a wound that won’t heal, a chronic condition, or limited mobility, the trip to a clinic can be the single biggest barrier to getting better. We remove that barrier by bringing licensed clinicians to the home, the nursing home, and assisted living — across Madison, St. Clair, Monroe, and the surrounding counties.

We’re the Illinois side of one bi-state team: Gateway Wound Care covers the Missouri side of greater St. Louis, and Metro East Health covers the Illinois side. Same clinicians, same standards, one shared intake line — which is why, when you reach out, you’ll hear back from a gatewaywoundcare.com email. Wound care is where we start, but we also provide primary care, chronic-condition support, and care that follows people across every setting and transition.

Your visits and treatment decisions are made by licensed clinicians and the independent medical practices we work with. Our role is to make that care reachable, reliable, and coordinated — so nothing falls through the cracks.
