A swing-bed is a service that rural hospitals and Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) with a Medicare provider agreement provide that allows a patient to transition from acute care to Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) care without leaving the hospital. This allows a patient to continue receiving services in the hospital even though acute care is no longer required.

Stone County Medical Center is proud to provide this service for the residents of Stone County.

For more information, you can contact SCMC's discharge planner, Cathy Beach, RN, at (870) 262-5037
