This modern facility offers state-of-the-art technology and is staffed by Family Medicine Physicians, Advanced Practice Providers, a surgical team, visiting specialists, and a skilled compassionate nursing staff. We also serve our community with a 57 bed Long Term Care, a 10 bed Senior Care unit which offers inpatient geriatric psychiatry services designed to address the specific mental health issues of adults 55+, and Home Care and Hospice services. Our focus on daily health and wellness includes chiropractic care and therapy (physical/occupational/speech/cardiac) and programs for chronic conditions such as diabetes and sleep issues. We also offer transitional care to patients not ready to be home on their own (Swing beds).
