within the healthcare continuum, including:

· Physician's offices
· Hospital intensive care units
· Hospital medical and surgical units
· Rehabilitation hospitals
· Skilled nursing facilities
· Assisted living facilities
· Home

Our patients are admitted with respiratory or ventilator-dependent conditions, need advanced wound care treatment, or suffer from other medically complex conditions.

We coordinate a medical evaluation, complete insurance verification/pre-certification and arrange transportation with the goal of admission promptly after the admission call. Our admissions department works closely with a patient's physicians and case managers, as well as the other healthcare providers, to make a patient's transition to our LTAC hospital a smooth process. We accept most healthcare plans including Medicare and worker's compensation.

Our referral hotlines are open 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week. Call (601) 883-3265 for more information about Admissions.

Programs & Services

Cardiopulmonary Program Promise Hospital of Vickburg specializes in comprehensive rehabilitative cardiopulmonary care for adult and geriatric patients with difficulty breathing due to complex and unresolved acute illnesses, as well as multi-organ failure, diseases, complications or severe injury. Most of our patients in the cardiopulmonary program are transferred from an ICU or general medical and surgical beds in short-term acute care (STAC) hospitals because they are in need of a longer acute hospital recovery period to reach their full recovery potential. These include patients: • who are on life support and require ventilator weaning and management, • with ARDS, COPD, neuromuscular disease, or chronic lung problems, such as asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema, lung fibrosis, pneumonia, and lung cancer, or • who are recovering from a heart attack or accidents. Upon physician order, our in-patient cardiopulmonary/respiratory therapeutic services are provided by Respiratory Care Practitioners (RCPs) on a 24-hour, 7-days-a-week basis, with diagnostic procedures scheduled as needed. RCPs - who include both registered respiratory therapists and certified respiratory therapists - work under the direction of a board certified physician and medical director to deliver quality cardiopulmonary/respiratory care.
Advanced Wound Care Program We provide a collaborative state-of-the-art skin and wound care management program dedicated to preventing, as well as restoring and maintaining skin integrity for patients suffering from chronic, non-healing wounds. We utilize both skill and application of wound care to treat compromised skin integrity and apply knowledge and understanding of wound care in an interdisciplinary manner. We also provide team intervention to promote and hasten the healing process. Patients admitted to our inpatient wound care program are referred by a physician and have been identified as at risk for compromised skin integrity due to complex medical conditions.
CLINICAL SERVICES AND PROGRAMS Services include but are not limited to: • Cardiac Monitoring • Ventilator Weaning • Specialized Nursing Services • 24/7 Respiratory Therapy & Care • IV Antibiotic Therapy • Total Parenteral Nutrition - TPN • Comprehensive Wound Care • Vacuum Assisted Closure - VAC • Pain Management • Physical Therapy • Occupational Therapy • Speech Therapy	• Nutritional Services • Oncology Management • Diabetes Management • Pulmonary Hygiene • Lung Resection Care • Pharmacy Services • Radiology, CT, MRI • Laboratory Services • Patient Advocacy • Chaplaincy
