At Newman Regional Health, our practice of total patient care fosters a close rapport between our nurses and patients, families, physicians, as well as other members of the healthcare team. Our highly-trained nurses communicate with our physicians and provide compassionate care to our patients. From a caring voice and an extra warm blanket, to a late night snack and a friendly smile, our nurses make the difference.
Inpatient Services at Newman Health include:
Intensive Care Unit
Newman Regional Health's eight-bed Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is fully-equipped with state-of-the-art monitoring equipment. We provide services for cardiac-related problems from heart attack and temporary pacemaker to the management of cardiogenic shock and ventilator support. Post anesthesia recovery is provided as needed.
Our caring nurses go above and beyond to provide the highest quality of compassionate care to our patients in the Intensive Care Unit at Newman Regional Health. Our nurses are highly-trained experts and are attentive to our patients' particular complex medical needs, including coronary care, hemodynamic monitoring, and Advanced Cardiac Life Support. Our experienced nurses provide services for surgical patients with a variety of conditions, including vascular repairs and major abdominal needs, as well as a wide range of acute medical patients.

Skilled Status
At Newman Regional Health, patients do not have to be physically moved to a different room or unit when they are transferred from acute bed status to skilled bed status. For our patients' convenience, they remain in their own rooms if their status changes. We found that changing patients to "skilled" status and allowing patients to stay in the same room provides many benefits including:
- More time to recover following an illness or surgery
- Less expensive care than an acute hospitalization
- Helps to keep patients oriented to surroundings and staff
- Reduces the possibility of lost items
- Reduces relocation confusion for friends and family
As patients progress, one factor that always remains constant is the devoted attention of our highly skilled nursing staff.
Contact the Care Coordination Department at 620-343-6800, extension 4102 or the Swing Bed Coordinator at ext. 2220 for more information.

- Community re-entry and adaptive leisure activities
- Patient and family education
- Other goal-directed activities
Our rehabilitation specialists strive to help the patient improve in mobility, strength, and independence while providing hope and encouragement to the patient and family.

- Improve balance and coordination
