Acute Care services at a Critical Access Hospital are essential for providing timely and necessary medical care to rural communities. These services aim to stabilize and treat acute medical conditions promptly while ensuring proper coordination for further care, if needed, in larger medical centers. Gothenburg Health is a rural healthcare team that stands out from the rest by providing access to expert medical care, state of the art facilities, and modern care for the whole person. During your inpatient stay, we commit to communicating clearly and promptly about your healthcare in a respectful manner.
