Select Specialty Hospital – Palm Beach

Select Specialty Hospital - Palm Beach is part of a national network of more than 100 long-term acute care sites across the United States. Our typical patient survived critical care but has continued weakness and significant medical needs. Select Specialty and Regency hospitals are designed to provide comprehensive, specialized care for high-acuity patients who need more time to recover. Our clinical practice is guided by over 200 local medical directors and chief nursing officers, all of whom follow rigorous protocols approved by Select Medical’s national medical advisory board. Chaired by our LTAC division's national medical director, pulmonologist Dr. David Jarvis, the board consists of more than 15 leading physicians and clinical specialists. In close collaboration with our chief medical officer, the board and local hospital leadership help our treatment teams recognize and utilize many of the most successful, evidence-based practices. By combining experience, state-of-the-art technology and unparalleled training, our doctors, nurses and therapists provide a team approach for those with complex medical conditions requiring an extended hospital stay. We are able to give our patients their best chance of recovery by providing early and aggressive nursing and respiratory care combined with nutritional support, medication management, and rehabilitation therapies. Patients with medically-complex conditions receive daily physician assessments and benefit from low patient-to-nurse ratios. Individualized case management may call for treatment plans that include 24-hour aggressive respiratory therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy. Nutritional counseling, radiology and laboratory services, and a clinical pharmacy are also available as treatment plans warrant. If your loved one is admitted, we will create an individualized treatment plan based on his or her health condition. Your loved one will benefit from our lower than average staffing ratios and the advanced competencies of many of our nurses. This contributes to a lower hospital return rate and is just part of the reason Select Medical has achieved an exceptional quality outcomes reputation. In addition to high-quality care, our hospitals offer more liberal family visitation and accommodations.
