Hospitalists
Should you require a hospital stay, our newly
remodeled inpatient area includes semi-private rooms, two private rooms,
plus isolation (for those with contagious diseases) and reverse isolation
(for those with severely compromised immune systems).
Medical/Surgical Unit
This unit provides excellent observation, acute and long term care to our
patients. We have an experienced nursing staff certified in Advanced Cardiac
and/or Pediatric Life Support. Semi-private, private and specialty care
rooms are available.
Swing Bed
Our hospital offers short-term skilled care through a Swing Bed Program.
This option is provided to all Medicare and Medicare + Choice patients who
need short-term skilled care after a qualifying acute-care hospital
stay. The physician decides the patient’s medical necessity and length of
stay. There are specific requirements to participate in this program.
Hospitalist Program
Hospitalists are physicians who are dedicated to caring for and coordinating
specialty care for hospitalized patients.
Cassville's hospitalist program employs three board-certified physicians
providing care to patients while they are in the hospital. The hospitalist
serves as the patient’s primary physician during the course of
their hospital stay. The patient’s regular physician is kept
informed about the treatment their patient receives at the hospital and any
follow-up care needed upon discharge. Once the patient leaves the hospital,
the primary physician resumes responsibility for the
patient's care.
