Special Care Hospital
The Region’s Premiere Long-Term Acute Care Facilities
Hard-to-heal wounds…post-operative complications…pulmonary rehabilitation…long-term antibiotic therapy…ventilator weaning…
These are just a few of the medical conditions that can be treated most effectively in a long-term acute care hospital (LTAC). For patients that are medically stable but too ill to be discharged to a nursing facility or acute care rehabilitation program, Special Care Hospital, Nanticoke offers an ideal alternative: a comprehensive, LTAC program designed to meet the specific needs of chronically ill patients.
One of the First Facilities in Pennsylvania
Special Care Hospital in Nanticoke is one of the first facilities of its kind in Pennsylvania – and one of only 350 in the nation – to provide dedicated care to the medically complex patient who requires acute inpatient services for 25 days or longer. For more information, please visit the Special Care Hospital Web site.
