Swing Bed Program

The Federal Government, through the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1980, Public Law 96-499, provides that certain rural general hospitals of less than 100 beds, may be designated for “Swing Beds”. The primary objective of the Swing Bed Program is to provide short-term, temporary placement for the patient who requires a skilled level of nursing care until: (1) The patient has reached the maximal level of functioning, or (2) a more appropriate setting for the patient’s care is found.

Laboratory Services

Registered laboratory technicians and technologists that are under the direction of an independent Pathologist, staff the Laboratory. This department is responsible for conducting various blood, urine and other body fluid tests ordered by the patient’s physician for quality continued care and diagnosis of the patient. If surgery is conducted, the pathologists will examine the removed tissue to determine the nature of the illness.
