Acute Care Hospitals are short-term medical care settings designed to deliver immediate and crucial medical care and treatment with the goal of discharging patients once treatment can be safely provided in a lower level of care setting. Acute Care is for patients who are suffering from serious injuries, disease, illnesses, or medical conditions, or who may be recovering from major surgery.
At Tri Valley Health System we offer two distinct acute care services for our valued patients, these two services include:
Admission into our acute care unit involves treatment for multiple diagnosis with new onset of illnesses, ongoing long-term illnesses and for patients who are suffering from other extreme medical complications that need immediate care. While acute care stays may involve some level of intensive treatment, this pattern of care is usually shorter in its duration. The average length of stay in an acute care setting primarily depends on the diagnosis being treated.
