Patient Stories

Tending to the spiritual and emotional needs of patients and their loved ones is a necessary part of the healing process.

We understand that during lengthy hospital stays the comforts of home can be just as important to patients and families as professional medical care. Our spacious patient rooms serve as a sanctuary where high-tech meets high-touch. Interaction with families and friends is encouraged through our open visitation policies and warm, inviting common areas.

“I made a judgment call to put my husband in Seton because of the people who work there. And I made a good call. I would never question putting your family member in Seton, because they take care of both your family member and your family. They make sure that everyone is taken care of, and that’s a big thing.”
–Denise Venable, wife of a St.Vincent Seton Specialty Hospital patient

Quality

Our knowledgable and skilled health care team works with patients and families to develop care plans unique to each patient. Aggressive clinical and therapeutic interventions involve daily physician monitoring, 24-hour skilled nursing care, ancillary services, and complicated medication regimens.

At St.Vincent Seton Specialty Hospital, we are proud to provide advanced, high-level technology to better serve our patients. We are capable of invasive and non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring; advanced ventilator support; hemodialysis; bronchoscopy; endoscopy; PEG placement; percutaneous tracheostomy; PICC placement; and CAT scanning.

Through Seton’s innovative Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) Oral Hygiene program, there has been a significant reduction in cases of VAP, a complication that often results in longer hospital stays.

Compassion

Our associates and physicians are compelled to make a positive and healing difference for those served by living the mission, vision and values that make St.Vincent Seton Specialty Hospital a healing ministry.

We believe the support of a patient’s loved ones is as important as the care we provide our patients. We provide an extraordinary level of service and consideration for family members, including:

• Weekly care conferences
• Educational materials to assist in caring for a loved one during and after hospitalization
• Pastoral care

“The level of communication from the care team was exceptional. I really valued the opportunity to attend the Wednesday case reviews, where I could ask questions. Seton has set the standard when it comes to communicating with families.”
