24-Hour Hospitalist Care
Jefferson Healthcare is a fully accredited 25-bed critical access hospital with comprehensive 24-hour, 7-day-a-week coverage by hospitalists and emergency physicians. Our team of hospitalists, nursing staff, and social workers focuses on whole-person care, emphasizing patient and family involvement.
Physician Team
While you’re in the hospital, your care may be coordinated by a “hospitalist,” a physician who is a specialist in the field of internal medicine who cares only for hospitalized patients. Hospitalists communicate regularly with your primary care doctor about your condition, the ongoing care you will need, and any specialist referrals you need.
Nursing Team
Our nursing staff is critical to patient care in the hospital. Jefferson Healthcare nursing staff is a team of registered nurses supported by certified nursing assistants. As a team, they assess each patient’s needs, work closely with the physician team, provide acute care needs, and facilitate each patient becoming an active participant in their patient care plan.
Social Services and Continuing Care
-
- Discharge planning assistance, including for patients who cannot immediately return home
- Financial counseling related to discharge planning
- Referrals to community resources
Family Support
We invite family members to participate in patient care. The family’s understanding of the patient’s needs helps guide our team’s path. Their understanding of the patient’s needs for rest, to provide exercise support, and their willingness to help patients with daily activities and responsibilities is a great benefit.
