Circle the City provides medical care to Phoenix’s homeless population. About a month ago, they opened a wound clinic at two of their facilities to meet a critical need.

Dr. William Ellert is the chief medical officer at Circle the City. He says wound care is one of their biggest needs.

Ill-fitting shoes, lack of socks, burns from hot concrete during the summer, or living with chronic conditions like diabetes can lead to wounds.
