Hospital officials argue that by reallocation of the 16 rehab beds to the emergency department, they can better manage the increasing demand and improve patient care continuity.
Community opposition has surfaced, with concerns that the closure of the rehab unit may disrupt the crucial continuity of care essential for rehabilitation patients.
Kaile Eison pointed out that the hospital's approach to rehabilitation offers a level of care for patients striving for a transitional discharge back to their homes that lacks in other departments.
Concerns were raised about the history of reducing the rehab unit's capacity from 40 to 16 beds, hinting at a trend of diminishing resources dedicated to rehabilitation.
