The SMH Laboratory is a moderate to high complexity lab, staffed 24/7, providing chemistry, hematology, coagulation and diabetic testing. We also have the ability to perform Thyroid testing and other immunology tests. Because we are a high complexity lab, we can also type and crossmatch blood for transfusion in emergency and non-emergency situations.
We provide both in-patient and out-patient rehabilitation services including Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Cardiac & Pulmonary Rehabilitation. Our Therapy and Rehab services are provided in our state-of-the-art Wellness Center located on campus near the Hospital and Medical Clinic.
Pulmonary medicine involves the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the lungs and respiratory system. Our team cares for patients with breathing difficulties often stemming from pulmonary or other diseases like COPD, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, allergic reactions, or asthma. Our goal is to provide compassionate healthcare for every patient who visits our hospital, and to assist each patient to return to their normal daily activities. If you are experiencing breathing difficulties or have maintained a persistent cough, you should visit the ER.
