Our 10 hospitals provide specialized, goal-oriented care for critically ill patients who require extended recovery time. Curahealth Hospitals are Medicare-certified to support a longer length of stay — usually weeks, not days — as compared to the typical five-day stay for patients in traditional hospitals.
Fortunately, Curahealth long-term acute care (LTAC) hospitals are available for those who do need further treatment following a stay in a traditional hospital. The kind of care we offer is often the critical element that can start patients on their journey to wellness. Studies have found that chronically critically ill and medically complex patients who receive care in an LTAC hospital experience outcomes that are as good or better than those of similar patients treated in other settings.
Curahealth features an interdisciplinary team approach to patient care, including:
Our care approach is designed to offer both time and resources for in-depth evaluation, comprehensive treatment, and close monitoring of every patient.
