Skilled Nursing

After inpatient surgery or another hospitalization, some patients no longer need acute care but are not quite ready to return to home or a nursing facility. Others may have been hospitalized far from home and still need care, but may receive it in their local hospital. Cox Monett Hospital’s Skilled Nursing program is a caring solution for these situations.
