Acute Care

Acute care is short-term hospitalization for serious injuries or illnesses that require immediate medical attention. These hospital stays typically last less than 96 hours and focus on treating urgent health needs.

We provide high-quality, patient-centered care for individuals who need close monitoring, treatment, or short-term hospitalization. As a critical access hospital, we are equipped to care for a wide range of medical conditions while maintaining a personal, community-focused approach. Our goal is to deliver safe, timely care close to home, so patients can heal with the support of family and familiar faces.

Patients admitted to acute care receive 24/7 nursing care, medical provider coverage, and access to essential hospital services such as laboratory, imaging, pharmacy, and respiratory therapy. Our experienced clinical team works closely together to monitor changes in condition, manage medications, and coordinate care plans tailored to each patient’s needs.

When a higher level of specialty care is needed, we ensure seamless coordination with neighboring facilities and emergency transport services. From admission through discharge, our focus remains on compassionate care, clear communication, and supporting a smooth recovery because caring for our community is at the heart of everything we do.
