Wound Care

About Wound Care

For optimal wound healing and to minimize infection, scarring, and other complications, an effective wound care program is crucial.

Many different types of injuries will involve some level of post-incident wound care. These can include incidents like burning, surgery, persistent ulcers, edema, and traumatic wounds. Each wound requires its own unique level of care and attention to ensure it is healing in the best possible way.

Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital specializes in all forms of wound care management. Our dedicated team of highly qualified nurses, therapists and doctors are experts in ensuring wounds are clean, sterile, and being properly looked after.

5 out of 5 stars

The care that was provided by The nurses (Cindy, Felicia Ruth) and staff was exceptional. The entire staff was very friendly and made you feel welcome. We received a call from Felicia the next day to check on my husband to check his pain level and do a follow up. The surgery area from check in to check out was well organized, clean, and up to date. Thank you to all of you for what you do so well and everything beyond your normal duties.

Went in for my annual. I like joan, she actually listens to the patient. She gets her information and then acts on it accordingly. Great bedside manner. Also accommodating to my issues with hearing. In one visit we established a level of trust. Not easy to do with me. So she's a good source for medical care.

Jen was fantastic. She explained everything, answered every question we had and explained it in terms in which we could understand. She was down to earth and it was an amazing experience for it being what it was. They got us in fast and she didn't hurry us through and treat us like a number.

Dr. Vix was so thorough and took such good care of me. I ended up in the ED with severe abdominal pain and he ordered imaging, determined the diagnosis and started treatment right away. I was well taken care of & everything was conveyed to my husband and I with understanding and guidance. I’m feeling so much better already.

I went in for emergency hernia surgery, the nurses, ER doctor, surgical nurses were extremely professional with amazing personalities, the general surgeon was highly professional and canceled all of his afternoon meetings in order to get me into surgery and not have me waiting in pain, also explained everything in a way I understood and all the risks with zero doubt! Highly highly highly recommend this hospital! Thank you for making my experience awesome!

Wish you can show this to all the workers there. 😊💕
I wish this hospital were much closer to me in the Iron Mountain area. The nurses, surgeons, doctors—especially Dr. Paul Kemmeter and his entire team—were absolutely outstanding. Every interaction was handled with professionalism, compassion, and genuine care. They were some of the most heartwarming and comforting medical professionals I have encountered in my 34 years. The level of support and reassurance they provided truly made a difference in my experience. But one thing for sure 🥹😂 If I am fortunate enough to have my first child in the future, I would sincerely hope it could be at this hospital.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your review. We can definitely share this with our employees. We have an amazing surgical crew and team at Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital. We do not deliver babies at our hospital but appreciate the sentiment that you received outstanding care.
