| | WOC Nursing |
 | | Phelps County Regional Medical Center (PCRMC) has three of the 60 WOC nurses in Missouri, and they are skilled in the treatment, education and rehabilitation of people with wound, ostomy and continence conditions. |
 | | WOC Nursing focuses on the care of patients who are debilitated by chronic wounds, ostomy conditions or continence disorders. |
 | | The demand for WOC nurses will continue to be spurred by the aging of the population as well as the increase in diseases, such as diabetes, where the development of wounds, such as foot ulcers, can be a serious complication and impair wound healing. |
