Melissa has taken care of my foot and belly wounds following several surgeries and changing bandages as a result of a small intestinal fistula. Not only does she meet my needs Monday-Friday, but she goes above and beyond to help me.
A collection system to take care of my wound currently doesn't exist. She is developing a system for me that doesn't leach and doesn't irritate the surrounding skin and is using different medical/scientific materials. She thinks "outside a structured box". She is thinking and designing like an inventor. Thank you for all you do!

Thank you, Melissa, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
