Philip Health Services offers an on-site lab and medical imaging department. The lab handles all blood draws and specimen samples and performs a variety of testing and analysis services. Medical imaging takes X-rays and CT scans. Our GE LightSpeed 16-slice CT scanner is a sophisticated device that allows your physician a non-invasive way to see inside your body. The lab and medical imaging capabilities at Philip Health Services allow many patients to have both routine and advanced medical care without leaving town to see a specialist.
Home Health
Home health services may be prescribed by our physicians so treatment can be continued in the comfort of your home. Depending on your needs, home health can be provided at the RN, LPN, or homemaker level. Home health is limited to a 30-mile radius of Philip. For more information, please speak to your physician.
Swing Beds
Patients needing acute or long-term care may utilize our swing-bed program. Several of our 18 hospital beds are available as swing beds for those in transition to another facility or in recovery prior to returning home. Your physician will work with you and your family members to coordinate a swing bed stay.
