🛏️ What is a Swing Bed Program — and why does it matter?

After a hospital stay for surgery, illness, or injury, some patients need a little more time to regain strength before they can safely return home. That’s where our Swing Bed Program at Big South Fork Medical Center comes in.

We offer skilled nursing, rehab, and therapy services to support your recovery — all in a setting that’s closer to home.

💙 Recovering closer to home means your loved ones can visit more easily, your care feels more personal, and you get the support you need without the stress of travel.

📍 Located right here in Oneida, our team is ready to help you take the next step between healing and home.

🩹 Wound Care Wednesday 🩹

We know that in rural areas like ours, getting to a specialist often means long drives, time off work, or going without care — and that’s not always an option.

That’s why we’re proud to offer specialized wound care right here in Scott County, so you don’t have to travel far to get the help you need. 💙

Whether you’re dealing with:
✅ Diabetic ulcers
✅ Surgical wounds
✅ Pressure injuries
✅ Or wounds that just aren’t healing the way they should…

You can get expert, compassionate care close to home — from a team that understands the needs of our community. 🏥

📍 You’ll find us in the Professional Building at Big South Fork Medical Center
📞 Call 423-286-5317 to learn more or talk to your provider about a referral
