Board-Certified Internal Medicine Physician Founder & CEO – Midwest Wellness & Wound Care
Dr. Kinya Kamau, MD, is a Board-Certified Internal Medicine physician and the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Midwest Wellness & Wound Care, a physician-directed multi-state medical organization specializing in mobile wound care, chronic disease management, and telemedicine services.
With more than 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Kamau has dedicated her career to improving outcomes for medically complex patients through evidence-based care delivered directly at the bedside. Her work focuses on patients living with chronic wounds, diabetes, vascular disease, mobility limitations, and other conditions that interfere with healing.
Dr. Kamau leads a physician-directed wound care program that delivers advanced bedside wound management in skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, rehabilitation centers, and private residences across multiple states. Her model integrates Internal Medicine expertise, regulatory compliance, and structured clinical workflows to improve healing outcomes while supporting healthcare facilities with Medicare-aligned documentation.
Her mission is simple but powerful: provide compassionate, evidence-driven care that restores health, mobility, and dignity for patients living with chronic wounds.
Professional Credentials
Dr. Kamau brings more than two decades of medical experience in Internal Medicine and complex chronic disease management. Her clinical background includes extensive experience caring for medically fragile adults in hospital, outpatient, and post-acute care settings.
She has dedicated much of her career to treating patients with:
chronic wounds
diabetes
vascular disease
renal dysfunction
mobility limitations
These conditions frequently impair wound healing and require a comprehensive medical approach.
Dr. Kamau earned her Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Nairobi, where she developed a strong academic foundation in internal medicine, complex disease management, and patient-centered clinical care.
She later completed her Internal Medicine residency at the University of Oklahoma, where she refined her expertise in diagnosing and managing complex medical conditions affecting adult patients.
Following residency, Dr. Kamau completed advanced fellowship training in nephrology, expanding her expertise in:
kidney disease
hypertension
electrolyte disorders
metabolic conditions
systemic illnesses that influence wound healing
Dr. Kamau currently maintains active medical licenses in multiple U.S. states, allowing her to oversee physician-directed wound care services across diverse healthcare environments including:
skilled nursing facilities

Medical Education and Training
Dr. Kamau earned her Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Nairobi, where she developed a strong foundation in internal medicine, complex disease management, and patient-centered clinical care.
She later completed her Internal Medicine residency training at the University of Oklahoma, where she further refined her expertise in diagnosing and managing complex medical conditions affecting adult patients.
Internal Medicine training provides a comprehensive understanding of the interconnected systems that influence healing. Conditions such as:
diabetes
cardiovascular disease
kidney dysfunction
malnutrition
vascular compromise
frequently contribute to delayed wound healing.
Dr. Kamau’s training enables her to evaluate wounds within the full medical context of the patient rather than focusing solely on the skin surface. This systemic perspective forms the foundation of her approach to chronic wound management.
Board-Certified Internal Medicine Expertise
As a Board-Certified Internal Medicine physician, Dr. Kamau approaches wound care through the lens of whole-patient medicine.
Chronic wounds rarely exist in isolation. They often develop because of underlying physiologic dysfunction that impairs tissue repair.
Common systemic contributors include:
diabetes and poor glycemic control
peripheral vascular disease
venous insufficiency
cardiac disease
renal impairment
malnutrition
neuropathy
immobility
medication side effects
chronic inflammation
By addressing these root contributors alongside local wound treatment, Dr. Kamau’s approach improves healing potential and reduces the risk of complications such as infection, hospitalization, or limb loss.
This integrated medical strategy is a key differentiator between physician-directed wound care and fragmented treatment models that rely solely on topical wound management.
Founder of Midwest Wellness & Wound Care
Dr. Kamau founded Midwest Wellness & Wound Care to address a critical gap in post-acute medicine.
Many patients with chronic wounds live in environments where transportation to specialty wound clinics is difficult or unsafe. Skilled nursing residents, assisted living residents, and homebound individuals often experience delays in wound evaluation simply because they cannot easily travel to outpatient facilities.
The mobile wound care model solves this problem by bringing advanced wound care directly to the patient.
Under Dr. Kamau’s leadership, Midwest Wellness & Wound Care provides physician-directed bedside wound care services that allow patients to receive specialized treatment in the environment where they live.
This model improves:
access to care
early wound detection
treatment timeliness
interdisciplinary communication
patient comfort and safety
It also allows physicians to observe real-world factors affecting wound healing, including mobility limitations, pressure exposure, nutritional status, and environmental risks.
Multi-State Medical Practice
Dr. Kamau currently holds active medical licenses in numerous states across the United States, allowing her organization to expand access to physician-directed wound care services across diverse regions.
States where Dr. Kamau is licensed in over 40 states.
Operating across multiple states requires a deep understanding of regulatory frameworks, payer policies, and state medical board requirements.
This regulatory fluency allows Midwest Wellness & Wound Care to expand safely while maintaining strict compliance with healthcare laws and reimbursement guidelines.
Mobile Wound Care: Bringing Advanced Treatment to the Bedside
Mobile wound care represents a major advancement in how chronic wounds are treated.
Traditional wound care models rely heavily on outpatient clinics or hospital-based services, which can create barriers for medically fragile patients.
Dr. Kamau’s physician-directed mobile wound care model places advanced wound care directly at the bedside.
Patients may receive care in:
skilled nursing facilities
assisted living communities
rehabilitation centers
long-term care facilities
private residences
By eliminating transportation barriers, patients receive faster evaluations and more consistent follow-up.
Early intervention is one of the most important factors influencing wound healing outcomes.
Chronic Wounds Treated
Dr. Kamau’s clinical program manages a wide range of wound conditions commonly seen in post-acute medicine.
These include:
Diabetic Foot Ulcers Neuropathy, vascular compromise, and metabolic dysfunction contribute to tissue breakdown.
Pressure Injuries Prolonged pressure restricts blood flow and damages tissue.
Venous Leg Ulcers Venous insufficiency and edema lead to chronic lower extremity wounds.
Arterial Ulcers Poor arterial circulation limits oxygen delivery to tissues.
Post-Surgical Wounds Incisions may fail to heal due to infection or systemic illness.
Traumatic Wounds Skin tears and injuries are common in elderly populations.
Chronic Non-Healing Wounds Persistent wounds require a comprehensive medical approach.
Structured Wound Evaluation
Every wound evaluation follows a standardized clinical protocol that includes:
precise wound location documentation
wound length, width, and depth measurement
tissue type identification
exudate evaluation
periwound assessment
infection surveillance
perfusion evaluation
pressure offloading strategies
This structured methodology supports accurate monitoring of wound progression and Medicare-compliant documentation.
Advanced Wound Treatment Modalities
Treatment plans are tailored to each patient and may include:
conservative sharp debridement
antimicrobial dressings
moisture-balance therapy
collagen-based wound matrices
compression therapy
edema management
negative pressure wound therapy
cellular and tissue-based products when appropriate
Medicare-Aligned Documentation
Providing wound care in long-term care environments requires careful adherence to Medicare documentation standards.
Dr. Kamau’s program emphasizes:
medical necessity documentation
CPT coding accuracy
ICD-10 diagnosis specificity
Local Coverage Determination adherence
wound progression documentation
treatment response monitoring
Telemedicine Services
In addition to mobile wound care, Dr. Kamau oversees telemedicine services that expand access to medical care.
Services may include:
primary care consultations
chronic disease follow-up
medication management
behavioral health support
preventive care evaluations
Telehealth allows patients to receive ongoing medical support between in-person visits while maintaining continuity of care.
Commitment to Patient-Centered Care
At the center of Dr. Kamau’s work is a commitment to improving the lives of patients living with chronic wounds and complex medical conditions.
