Select Specialty Hospital - Palm Beach

Select Specialty Hospital - Palm Beach combines the specialized expertise of a large hospital with the personalized attention of a smaller setting.

Occasionally, patients in the hospital have a need for a longer acute care stay due to their illness, multiple injuries, trauma, or medical complications. The unique medical needs of these types of patients require more intensive, focused hospital care for optimal recovery. Select Specialty Hospitals are designed specifically to meet the needs of these types of extended acute care patients.

Select Specialty Hospital - Palm Beach provides comprehensive care to patients with pulmonary, neurological, infectious disease, wound care, renal failure and cardiac conditions. Our hospital provides daily physician management, experienced nursing, respiratory and support care within our 60-bed hospital. All patient rooms are private. In addition, a six-bed ICU, CT scan, laboratory, pharmacy, and operating room are available to ensure the highest level of care and medical expertise.

Each patient is also assigned a case manager who will guide their case from admission through discharge. The case manager is available to answer questions, assist with insurance and to plan a safe, timely and appropriate discharge. Select Specialty Hospitals are Medicare certified and accredited by the Joint Commission. We participate with most major health insurers.
