We offer newly renovated and constructed patient rooms which often include amenities such as large screen TV’s, private bathrooms, wi-fi access, and a beautiful courtyard. Our nursing staff are highly trained and certified, but even more importantly we offer tremendous nurse to patient ratios that allow our nursing staff to devote time to each and every one of their patients, making certain that every patient is as comfortable as possible. Patients will be followed throughout their hospitalization by a local MD, who understands and values every patient as an individual and collaborates with the patient and their loved ones to be certain the patient gets what they need. Most patients will have a dedicated Patient Care Coordinator to assist them with their discharge planning and needs to ensure their success when they leave the hospital.
Medication Infusions and Injections
Call us at 785-364-9689
Infusion treatment is medication administered through an IV. Since it’s infused directly into a vein, Infusion therapy reaches the bloodstream immediately and provides fast relief. Since it has to be administered on a regular basis patients have to return to medical facilities. That’s why Holton Community Hospital offers an outpatient infusion therapy center.
