SIERRA MADRE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wound Care Advantage (WCA), the nation’s leading wound care consulting firm, has announced the expansion of its revenue cycle team to help meet the growing financial needs of hospitals affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The revenue cycle team will be led by the newly appointed Vice President of Revenue Cycle Management, Vanessa Ploessel.
