Patient Care Services

Kindred Hospitals use a multidisciplinary team approach to care that helps our patients return to the highest quality of life possible. Our areas of patient care services include:

Diagnostic Imaging

Skilled and certified technicians operate our imaging equipment, and we make every effort to perform the testing in as prompt and as convenient a manner as possible.

Endoscopy

An endoscope is a flexible, lighted tube that, when inserted into the digestive system, transmits images of the inside of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum, allowing the physician to carefully examine the lining of these organs. Our endoscopy team works to make you as comfortable as possible before, during and after the procedure.

Occupational Medicine

Occupational medicine is devoted to prevention and management of occupational and environmental injury, illness and disability.

Pain Management

We feature a variety of treatments designed to ease chronic pain conditions that may result from an accident, infection or sprain.

Rehabilitation

The rehabilitation process is designed to help strengthen and restore a patient’s ability to live and work as normally as possible after a disabling injury or illness. Contact us for detailed rehab program information.

Physicians

Your clinical treatment is the chief responsibility of your physician. As a member of the medical staff, your physician makes the necessary arrangements for laboratory services, X-rays, medications, special diets and any other treatment or service. Physicians treating patients at Kindred Hospital Arizona - Phoenix are members of the joint medical staff for both campuses. Specialties include, but are not limited to, internal medicine, pulmonary, cardiology, infectious diseases, nephrology, gastroenterology, physical medicine & rehabilitation, anesthesia and surgery (general and specialized).

Nursing

Nursing services are provided around the clock to meet each patient’s unique needs. Through the Department of Nursing, care plans are created in conjunction with physicians, therapists and specialists in other disciplines.

Respiratory Therapists

Under the direction of the medical staff, our team of respiratory therapists evaluates, treats and manages patients with cardiopulmonary problems. They also provide preventive care.

Radiology

Using advanced equipment, the radiology staff performs a variety of X-rays and diagnostic services that play an important role in diagnosing many illnesses.

Surgical Services

Surgical services are available for patients around the clock. If necessary, for some specialty procedures, patients may be transferred to another facility.

Laboratory

Operating under the direction of a physician, the laboratory is responsible for conducting any tests that are ordered. Our advanced equipment performs tests accurately and quickly, with results available on the same day whenever possible.

Pharmacy

An integral part of the patient care team is our staff of licensed pharmacists. They prepare medications and provide special dietary supplements necessary for proper nutrition.

Food Services and Nutrition Support

The goal of our dietitian is to strive to meet your nutritional needs and prepare diets as ordered by your physician. The dietitian also performs periodic nutritional assessments and monitors your nutrition plan. Please make the dietitian aware of your food preferences and any food allergies you may have.

Physical Therapy

Our physical therapists are an integral part of your rehabilitation process. Under the direction of your physician, they evaluate, treat and provide rehabilitation for muscular, skeletal, neurological and circulatory diseases.

Occupational Therapy

The work of the occupational therapist helps promote independence in daily living skills such as feeding, bathing, dressing and grooming. The goal we strive toward is to increase your strength, endurance and coordination.

Speech Therapy

When required, a licensed speech and language pathologist provides therapy to improve your speaking and swallowing skills as much as possible.

Social Services

A wide range of social services – including counseling, discharge planning, referrals to community agencies and securing medical equipment for home use – is provided. Family members are also invited to take part in counseling.

Chaplain Services

There are chaplains on standby to assist you and your family with any needs or concerns. Your minister is also welcome to visit at any time.

Post-Hospital Care

When you no longer need the specialized services of our hospital but still require medical care, your physician may discharge you to a skilled nursing facility, a rehabilitation center or to home care. Our discharge planner will help arrange for the services you may need after leaving our hospital.
