Inpatient Services
McAlester Regional Health Center is a 149-bed not-for-profit hospital serving McAlester and communities throughout Southeastern Oklahoma. Our inpatient teams provide compassionate, professional care for patients who require hospitalization for medical, surgical, cardiac, and other health conditions.
Our goal is to provide high-quality care close to home while keeping patients and their families informed and involved throughout their hospital stay. Our interdisciplinary team works together to develop an individualized plan of care, coordinate services, manage symptoms, and prepare patients for a safe transition home or to the next level of care.
Medical-Surgical Services
Our Medical-Surgical Services provide care for patients with a wide range of medical conditions who require hospitalization but do not require intensive care. Our experienced nurses, physicians, hospitalists, nursing assistants, therapists, respiratory therapists, dietitians, pharmacists, case managers, social workers, and other healthcare professionals work together to meet each patient’s individual needs.
Our team is committed to providing compassionate care, keeping patients and families informed, and helping patients progress toward a safe discharge.
Intensive Care Unit
When illness or injury becomes life-threatening, MRHC’s Intensive Care Unit provides specialized care for patients who are medically unstable and require close monitoring and intensive treatment.
Our ICU team provides intensive medical, surgical, and cardiac care. Highly trained nurses continuously assess patients’ conditions, provide intensive therapies and interventions, assist with invasive procedures, monitor hemodynamic and cardiac function, and operate and maintain life-support equipment.
Monitor technicians support the ICU team through continuous cardiac monitoring and surveillance.
Our ICU team works closely with physicians and other healthcare professionals to provide coordinated, compassionate care for patients and their families during critical illness.
Hospitalist Services
Hospitalists are physicians who specialize in caring for patients while they are in the hospital. MRHC’s hospitalist team works closely with nursing staff, specialists, therapists, case managers, and other members of the healthcare team to coordinate each patient’s care throughout their hospitalization.
Hospitalists are available to evaluate patients, address changes in their condition, answer questions, communicate treatment plans, and coordinate care with specialists when needed.
Care Close to Home
At MRHC, we understand that being hospitalized can be stressful for patients and their families. Our teams are committed to providing safe, compassionate and professional care while keeping patients close to their families and community whenever possible.
If a patient’s condition requires a higher level of specialized care than can be provided at MRHC, our medical team will coordinate an appropriate transfer to another facility. Transportation may be provided by ambulance or McAlester Air Care when clinically appropriate.
For questions or concerns during your hospitalization, please speak with your nurse or ask to speak with the appropriate member of your care team. We are here to help you understand your care and feel supported throughout your hospital stay.
