High Observation Units
    Paralleled with a hospital ICU, this unit is designed to provide intensive nursing and medical care for acutely ill patients.  These patients often require specialized monitoring and close supervision to achieve stabilization of their condition.

    Patients may receive:

• Telemetry Monitoring
• IV Vasopressor
• Anti Arrhythmic
• Wound Care
• Hemo and Peritoneal Dialysis
• TPN

Complex Wound Management
    We believe the most comprehensive approach to wound management involves an interdisciplinary team of professionals.  Our program is designed for patients with impaired tissue integrity or who are at high risk for complications.  Physician's specializing in wound management, coupled with specialized nurses and therapists, work to coordinate a treatment modality and plan to enhance healing and minimize complications.

    Patients appropriate for this program may have:

    Services Include:

Rehabilitation
    As a compliment to the many medically complex programs offered at our hospital, our Interdisciplinary Team includes Physical, Speech, and Occupational Therapists.  This team works in tandem with various programs to restore strength, endurance, and/or diminished function, often associated with an extended illness.  Our goal is to return each patient to their maximum level of functioning and independence.


PHYSICAL THERAPY

    As part of the rehabilitation team, our Physical Therapists implement therapeutic modalities appropriate for each individual patient with such goals as improving strength, endurance, mobility, balance, transfer ability, and range of motion.


OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

    Occupational Therapy is focused on the improvement of strength and function of the upper body.  This involves relearning or improving self-care skills such as dressing, bathing, grooming, and eating.


SPEECH THERAPY

    Through the evaluation and treatment of various conditions, speech therapy strives to improve cognitive functioning, communication deficits, and swallowing impairments.
