Columbus Hospital LTACH is 63-bed critical care specialty hospital that provides highly advanced and intensively focused care ... for higher acuity patients who have not responded to short-term treatment in traditional general hospitals. As the leader in critical care medicine in the tri-state area, we are a Destination of Hope for our patients. In addition, an LTACHs average length of stay is 25 days as compared to a 3-5 day average in a general hospital. A longer stay equates to a better outcome and opportunity for recovery. Fundamentally, patients appropriate for LTACHs include those who may be ventilator dependent, suffering from multi-organ failure or deep wound ulcerations. Our Internationally Accredited state of the art hospital is designed to admit and care for the most critically ill patients. At Columbus Hospital LTACH you’ll discover that we provide comprehensive and technologically advanced medical care which can be directed by the patient’s own family physician.
