Conditions Treated

Patients at a Promise Hospital can be admitted for most illnesses or injuries that require hospitalization. They most likely are transferred from intensive care units [ICUs], direct observation units [DOUs] or general medical and surgical beds in short-term acute care hospitals because they require a longer hospital recovery period and need physical, occupational or respiratory therapies or complex wound care.
