Henry County Health Center Swing Bed Program allows patients to transition from in-patient acute care to skilled nursing care while staying in a hospital setting. Patients receive one-to-one care in the privacy of their own room, complete with recliner, television, and private bathroom. Patients are welcome to bring any items from home to make them more comfortable during their stay.
