17th Annual Heart Ball Event
February 22, 2025
Our Cause: Transitional Care-Swing Beds
A swing bed is a service rural hospitals provide allowing a patient to transition from Acute Care to Skilled Nursing Facility Care without leaving the hospital. If a patient experiences an injury or an illness requiring hospitalization, they might require skilled nursing care after their initial hospital treatment ends to continue their recovery. A Swing Bed Program allows the patient to stay in the same hospital, receiving the care they need in a convenient and familiar setting. Alternatively, if no nursing facility has capacity close to home, the patient may be discharged to another skilled nursing facility in the area or, worse, outside of the community.
The proceeds from this event will go towards supporting this vital program.
