Critical Illness Recovery

Select Specialty Hospital, Hampton Roads, is a long-term acute care facility -- the first of its kind in the Peninsula area. It is located at 500 J. Clyde Morris Boulevard in Newport News located inside Riverside Regional Medical Center. This "hospital within a hospital" cares for patients who have medical conditions requiring more intensive care over a longer time period. The average patient stay for long-term acute care is 25 days. Staff includes RN's, LPN's, Respiratory, Telemetry and Care Management (Social Worker).



Most patients come from traditional hospitals and medical centers where they received short-term acute care, more invasive procedures and testing and have healed beyond the "unstable" phase of their illness. Although care is still acute, the patients begin the transition into the recuperative stage at HRSH.
