The
Warren
Memorial
Hospital, affiliated with Valley Health System,
is a 196-bed non-profit community hospital and nursing home
providing diagnostic, medical and surgical services for residents of
Front Royal and Warren
County,
Virginia, and
surrounding communities.
A 120-bed long-term care facility,
Lynn Care
Center
provides a home-like atmosphere and caring environment for
residents.
Warren
Memorial
Hospital
is committed to the Planetree philosophy of patient-centered,
personalized care.
The hospital, serving Front Royal, Warren
County
and surrounding communities, provides 24-hour Emergency Department services, inpatient and same-day surgical
services, medical/surgical/pediatric care, obstetrical/gynecological
care, physical therapy, home health services, intensive care, a
progressive care unit, cardiopulmonary services, laboratory,
radiology services and occupational health services.
There are approximately 40 physicians on the hospital's
medical staff, covering medical specialties such as
obstetrics/gynecology, internal medicine, orthopedics, general
surgery, family practice, urology, emergency medicine, pathology,
radiology, anesthesiology, ophthalmology and otolaryngology (ENT).
An inpatient physical rehabilitation unit, sometimes called sub-acute
care, is a joint venture between Warren Memorial and the Winchester Rehabilitation
Center.
The unit serves patients with recent physical disabilities,
providing skilled nursing care and physical, occupational and/or speech
therapy.
The BirthPlace maternity unit and Women’s Care Center, located on the
first floor, includes four LDRP (labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum)
rooms, an eight-bed nursery, two rooms for post-cesarean delivery care,
and two gynecology patient rooms.
The Emergency Department
offers patient and ambulance entrances, waiting room, family room,
triage and registration areas to MED-EXPRESS, trauma and cardiac
treatment rooms.
MED-EXPRESS, staffed by a nurse practitioner from 2 to 10 p.m. every
day, serves patients with minor illnesses and injuries.
A new Same-Day Surgery unit for outpatient surgical, diagnostic and
therapeutic procedures opened in 1995.
Currently about 80% of all surgical procedures at Warren Memorial
are performed on an outpatient basis, enabling patients to go home the
same day.
The Special
Outpatient Unit, which serves patients needing short-term therapy or
minor surgical procedures, is also located in Same-Day surgery.
Warren Memorial has completed a new Ambulatory Care Center (ACC), a
36,000 square-foot building that was constructed on the former
Commonwealth Lumber site on Commerce Avenue. The hospital moved the
following services into the first floor of the building – Occupational
Health, Outpatient Physical and Occupational Therapy, general radiology
equipment and a lab drawing station. The new facility makes services
more accessible to the community as well as reduces the traffic flow on
the hospital campus.
The second
floor is designed for physician office space in anticipation of the need
to recruit additional doctors to meet the community’s needs.
The hospital offers community services including annual health fairs, a
speaker’s bureau, CPR classes, weekly blood pressure screening, and
support groups for patients and families coping with diabetes, heart
disease, cancer and Alzheimer's disease.
