Inpatient Care
Adult Medical Unit in Shelbyville
Inpatient care is for patients who need more involved treatment for their
medical condition. Patients receive their own room and bed in the hospital
and have round-the-clock access to highly skilled doctors, nurses, physical
therapists, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and case managers. Inpatient
care typically lasts between one overnight stay to two full weeks at the
hospital. Each patient’s care is overseen by a hospitalist, who
serves as your primary physician while staying with us. The hospitalist
coordinates the efforts of your entire care team and keeps your primary
care doctor updated on your condition.
The Inpatient Unit contains medical, surgical, orthopaedic, and critical
care rooms. The goal of inpatient care is to help patients recover to
the point where they can safely return home without risk of encountering
a medical emergency. Whether you are recovering from surgery or need treatment
for a chronic illness, our team can design a personalized care plan to
help you get back home as soon as possible.
