To The Telegram,

Have you heard of the swing bed at St. Mary's Hospital Superior?

The swing bed is not a swinging bed, water bed or air bed. It is a program to help you recover, either from a severe illness or surgery where physical therapy can strengthen and prepare you for going home.

It is a program where you have 24 hour nursing care, medications if needed, and individualized physical therapy.

In the swing bed program, you will be cared for by the well trained nursing staff, and the outstanding physical therapists.

Also, Medicare will pay.

Speak to your doctor and see if you would benefit from these services. I did, and I am glad I took advantage of this wonderful service.
