Acute Care

Acute care describes the level of treatment received in the inpatient unit at Crawford County Memorial Hospital. This inpatient area is sometimes referred to as the Medical/Surgical (or med/surg) unit as well. The hospital’s highly trained nursing staff cares for patients of all ages with a wide variety of health concerns. Acute care nurses are trained in basic life support, advanced cardiac life support and pediatric advanced life support.

The inpatient unit also has a four-bed special care unit reserved for critically ill patients who require one-on-one nursing.
