When you are brought to the hospital for a serious medical incident such as a heart attack or brain injury, the treatment you receive there is called “acute” care, or care that is provided to address a severe or emergent medical issue. Traditional hospitals are designed to diagnose and stabilize individuals with acute medical problems. They typically do not expect their patients to stay in the hospital for an extended period of time. In some cases though, patients require more time to recover in a hospital setting before they can safely return home. Most traditional hospitals are not designed to facilitate care for an extended period, so they will refer these patients to another care provider. When patients require continued hospitalization for the management of complex medical issues, they may be referred to a critical care hospital, sometimes called a long-term acute care hospital (LTACH), like Mesquite Specialty Hospital.
Our hospital is built to meet the needs of patients who require longer recovery periods in a hospital setting. Critical care hospitals specialize in treating serious respiratory, cardiac, multi-system, neurological, infectious disease, and wound healing issues, among other conditions. Our goal is to help patients advance their recovery as much as possible during their hospital stay.
Patients are our priority.
At Mesquite Specialty Hospital, we are passionate about patient care. We consider it a privilege to be able to provide services to patients and their families throughout Dallas/Ft. Worth, Kaufman and Hunt counties. We are committed to providing the highest level of care available, and never take our responsibility to our patients for granted.
We strive to create healing and nurturing environments for our patients that not only meet their medical needs, but address their emotional and social needs as well. We believe that this comprehensive approach helps our patients recover more fully.
Our hospital is recognized nationally for our respiratory services, meeting stringent guidelines that put us in the top 15 percent of hospitals nationwide.
We consider it privilege to be able to offer high-level care and are honored to be a vital part of Mesquite and the surrounding communities that we serve.
Mesquite Specialty Hospital has been providing critical care services to our patients since 2006.
Every year, we treat hundreds of patients who are recovering from serious injuries or illnesses.
Your physician or a healthcare provider will coordinate your continued critical care, so it’s important to discuss your options and preferences with them. You may request Mesquite Specialty Hospital through your physician or a healthcare provider who will take the proper steps to coordinate your care with us. To ensure we are the best fit for your medical needs, all potential patients are evaluated individually to ensure an appropriate admission to the right hospital setting for their recovery.
