SKILLED SWING BED SERVICES
In addition to being a state-of-the-art medical facility with new technology in the two surgical rooms, a spacious suite for Physical, Occupational & Respiratory Therapy and the 25 bed Hospital now has 5 beds set aside for Skilled Swing Bed services. The swing bed rooms also allow for patients to FaceTime or Zoom with their families at home. Recovering back to health is a more expedient process when the patient can regularly visit with family and friends.
