Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hospital

About This Location

Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hospital, named to honor and memorialize residents who served in World War I has been located on the northern edge of the village since 1924. Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hospital operates a 25-bed general acute care hospital, with a medical-telemetry unit. Soldiers & Sailors also has a Swing Bed Program.

Swing Beds are utilized to provide patients with care following an acute care hospitalization, when the patient needs more time to recover from a surgery, after joint repair or replacement, after a prolonged hospitalization due to an injury or illness, when IV antibiotic therapy is needed or other reasons. If a patient has had three overnights in an acute care bed at any facility, not just at Soldiers & Sailors, and has an ongoing diagnosis and needs that require skilled care, as defined by Medicare, he or she may be a candidate for a Swing Bed.
