Meeting Today’s Complex Pulmonary Needs Through LTACH Expertise

Compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic and flu season, providers and payors have sought new strategies to address respiratory failure.  For patients experiencing respiratory failure conditions, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), specialized acute care after the initial hospital stay is proving to play a critical role in improving patient outcomes, reducing readmissions, and decreasing the severity of long-term effects.
