SERVICES

Organizations, and is a member of the American Hospital Association. We
offer a comprehensive range of services to patients, from birth to
geriatric care.
- Surgery: Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital has two
fully-equipped surgical suites as well as up-to-date outpatient surgery
facilities. Inpatient and outpatient care includes such general and
specialized procedures as gynecology, orthopedics, urology, and general,
vascular, and colorectal surgery.
- Specialized Nursing Units: We have specialized care to meet
the needs of each individual patient. Our resources and staff are here
to serve the medical and social needs of those under our care.
- Medical/Surgical: a 56-bed nursing unit, including
private and semi-private rooms, provides personalized care for
patients and families. Our highly skilled nursing staff uses a team
approach to treat our patients like the friends and neighbors they
are. This unit also serves pediatric patients, so children in our
service area can have access to inpatient care close to home.

24-hour observation and critical care for patients with traumatic
injuries or life-threatening illnesses, and is staffed by a highly
trained team of physicians and nurses.

comfortable and family-oriented as possible.

with fully trained emergency physicians and nurses. Lewis County

service.
REHABILITATIVE & DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES
Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital has a full array of
technologically advanced equipment and services to diagnose and treat
medical problems, and to facilitate as complete a recovery as
possible.

prevent, identify, alleviate and correct acute and prolonged movement
dysfunction. The department is staffed by licensed physical therapists
and support staff. Treatments available include: evaluation, exercise,
"TENS", electrotherapy, heat and cold therapy, ultrasound, gait
training, sports medicine, isokinetics, industrial rehabilitation,
ultraviolet, whirlpools, function training and home instructions.
- Cardiac Rehabilitation: Located in the physical therapy
department, cardiac rehabilitation services are designed to help the
recovering heart patient return to a healthy and enjoyable life. Under
the direction of a board-certified cardiologist, patients are carefully
screened and admitted only upon physician referral. Services include
stress testing, individually designed aerobic exercise programs, and
monitoring of heart function and blood pressure.
- Pulmonary Rehabilitation: Our pulmonary rehab department will
help individuals struggling with diseases of the lungs return to a more
healthy and satisfying lifestyle. Our program is a comprehensive
approach to patient care, including education about pulmonary disease,
lifestyle changes, incorporation of mild physical activity, and handling
the psychological effects of a patient's condition.

professional medical technologists 24 hours a day. State-of-the-art
technology provides rapid testing and reporting to assist physicians

body scans, and can obtain high quality slice-like images of selected
body areas.
- Nuclear Medicine: Our physicians have at hand the latest in
diagnostic medical imaging with a sophisticated digital gamma camera
system. This high performance nuclear medicine system provides for
quicker, more accurate diagnoses by allowing physicians to observe the
physiology, rather than just the structure, of the heart and other organ
systems.

diagnostic technique which acquires images without the use of radiation.

diagnostic information to our medical staff. Major applications include

performed by female technicians, are designed for the comfort, privacy
and convenience of our patients.
- Respiratory Care Department: From diagnosis to surgery to
rehabilitative therapy, our pulmonary department uses the most modern
equipment and latest techniques. Under the direction of a
board-certified pulmonologist, services include: pulmonary function
testing, respiratory therapy, sleep studies, EKG and EEG.
OUTPATIENT DEPARTMENT
Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital's thoroughly modern outpatient
department serves patients whose procedures do not require an inpatient
stay, but who need some special preparation and recovery.
The outpatient department is designed and operated for the care and
well-being of patients who will be anesthetized or otherwise impaired or
incapacitated for a short time as a result of their procedures.
Procedures available through the outpatient department include
same-day surgery, endoscopy, blood transfusions, and
chemotherapy.
The department has a ward of ten fully reclining
chairs, each with its own privacy curtain. Here patients are prepared
for their surgical procedure or treatment. After the procedure, patients
return to the outpatient department for recovery and discharge.
SUPPORT SERVICES
Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital believes in treating the person,
not just the illness; and, by extension, the family, not just the
patient. We have a number of services that provide aid and comfort
beyond the healing arts.
- Social Services Program: The hospital employs a social
service representative to act as liaison between the hospital and the
patient and family. This trained individual is available to help with
questions or problems regarding the hospital stay. She also serves as an
information and referral resource for social services and personal
services outside the hospital, including help with public assistance
applications and arrangements for nursing home care.
- Discharge Planning: We recognize that a patient's recovery
often extends beyond the hospital stay. We work closely with the
patient, the physician, the patient's family and appropriate community
agencies, when necessary, to provide an appropriate continuum of care.
- Chapel and Chaplaincy: A number of the community's clergy
volunteer their services to provide counseling and spiritual comfort to
patients and families. There is a chapel in the hospital for prayer and
meditation.
- Financial Counseling: Our financial services office can help
patients and families identify resources and options for meeting their
obligations, including referrals to appropriate agencies for public
assistance.
