Emergency Care

Our emergency room is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week to serve the needs of those in need of emergent care. A provider is available 24 hours a day and our Registered Nurses are certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Basic Life Support (BLS), Trauma Nursing Core Curriculum (TNCC) and Advanced Pediatric Life Support (PALS) to offer our patients the best possible care in life or death situations. Patients that are too critical to stay at our facility will be transferred out to a higher acuity hospital either by air or ground. Our Emergency Room is equipped with state of the art monitoring equipment such as our new 'GE Carescape One' monitoring system that allows us to monitor vital signs, oxygen saturation, and cardiac rhythm. For Mental Health Crisis and those presenting with stroke like symptoms we are able to get connected with Swedish Medical Center utilizing our Co-Doc system to preform the evaluations immediately with a specialist and then our providers are able to initiate recommended treatments.

Swing-Bed Services

Swing bed services are unique to Critical Access hospitals. These beds are used for those patients requiring skilled nursing and rehabilitation after certain types of procedures, such as joint replacement or cardiac procedures. This service allows the patient to receive nursing and therapy care in their local hospital and not have the expense or the stress of being away from home for many weeks. The swing beds are also used for the very ill who require a longer recovery time and are unable to receive that extra care at home. Think of us when you need care after surgeries or anytime during the healing process.

For further inquiries or information regarding our Swing bed services please contact our Case Manager Breanna “Bre” Self at 719-523-2026.
