Iron County Hospital institutes swing bed program

Iron County – Most patients who are recovering from a severe injury, major surgery, or any number of serious medical conditions, would prefer to be home instead of miles away from their loved ones and out of their comfort zone. Iron County Hospital in Pilot Knob has instituted a swing bed program for patients recovering from a severe injury, major surgery or a wide range of serious medical patients.

Rather than having to stay in the hospital, participating patients receive continuous, supervised nursing care with a strong emphasis on rehabilitation while still living at home. The medical team provides one-on-one services focusing on the patient’s ultimate goals of getting back to a productive lifestyle at home, protecting themselves from future injury, and being able to perform their daily, routine activities faster.
