Hospital Services

Emergency Department

• The Emergency Department is where providers, nurses and specialists are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to care for patients with serious illnesses and injuries. If your emergency requires a higher level of care than can be provided at a Critical Access Hospital, you will be stabilized and medically evacuated to another facility.

Inpatient Care

• Inpatient Care, also known as acute care, is for patients who are admitted for short-term medical treatment of an illness or injury. An acute care stay at the hospital is measured in days rather than weeks and includes outpatient and short-stay care. Acute care patients are provided with a registered nurse on duty 24 hours a day, an on-call physician 24 hours a day, and room amenities including local calls, internet access, cable TV and meals.

Transitional Care

• Transitional Care, or swing bed care, bridges the gap between inpatient hospital stays and outpatient recovery. SEARHC provides personalized support for patients who require extra time and/or therapy to heal and regain strength as well as independence before returning home. A patient’s length of stay can vary based on their individual needs.
