Cornerstone hospital specializes in long-term care
Cornerstone Hospital of Huntington is a 28 bed long-term acute care hospital. We’re unique in the area. In fact, there are only two long-term acute care hospitals in the state.
Cornerstone Hospital is not a nursing home or a rehab hospital. We are what is known as a “hospital in a hospital” because we lease space at St. Mary’s Medical Center. But Cornerstone is its own company, and offers its own specialized programs.
We have patients from Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia and beyond. Most of them are referred to us from short-term acute care hospitals across the tri-state area.
Cornerstone Hospital bridges the gap between a short-term acute care hospital and a patient’s return to home, a rehabilitation facility, or a skilled nursing facility.
Cornerstone admits patients who have multiple complications or issues that need to be addressed in a longer hospital stay before they can move to a lower level of care.
Cornerstone offers specialized services for patients requiring pulmonary and/or tracheostomy care, ventilator weaning, infectious disease treatment, medically complex care and wound management.
In addition to our treatment programs, Cornerstone also provides medical rehab, which serves patients who aren’t yet ready for an intensive therapy program at a rehab hospital.
Long-term acute care is a relatively new concept in the area. We are committed to educating people about our unique programs and the types of patients who are appropriate for this level of care.
