PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
Thanks to the relationship and trust we built, we were able to help a patient get their vision restored.
Through intensive work with the MCC team, which provided regular wound care dressings, survival supplies and medical advocacy, this patient’s wounds are now healed and they have acquired prosthetics and a new wheelchair.
