Hospitalist : Improving care for a faster recovery.

Hospitalists work as part of the health care team to ensure patients and families receive the best information and care during an inpatient stay. Hospitalists are in the hospital 24 hours a day so that they can be responsive to patient needs and family concerns. Your hospitalist team will follow up on tests, adjust treatment schedules as needed and maintain communication with your doctor.

In addition to specialized knowledge of acute hospital care, hospitalists are familiar with specialists and departments within the hospital so that they can effectively assist patients with a smooth and speedy recovery process. Research has shown that Hospitalist Programs may improve the efficiency of hospital care, with shorter lengths of stay and better outcomes.

Extended Stay Rehabilitation : Some extra help before returning to life's routines. Sometimes recovery from a stroke, accident or other illness requires extended rehabilitative care. For these cases, LIFE offers a transitional care unit . Patients staying in the unit have access to services including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, advanced therapy programs, short-term rehabilitation and "rehab-to-home" programs.

The foundation helps individuals who have recently experienced a hospital stay by allowing them to continue their therapy and/or skilled nursing care in a convenient, well-staffed location.
