Emergency Department
High quality, 24-hour emergency care is only minutes away from your home. The Benson Hospital emergency physician and nursing staff are specially trained to provide emergency care, including trauma, cardiac or respiratory care. Based on the needs of the patient, quick transfer can be made to nearby
facilities or admission at Benson Hospital.
Laboratory
The Benson Hospital
Laboratory is staffed and equipped to offer state-of-the-art laboratory
technology to residents of the San Pedro Valley District and
beyond. This includes testing in the areas of: Chemistry, Blood
Banking and Transfusion services, Hematology, Urinalysis, Coagulation,
Toxicology, Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, and limited Microbiology.
Testing that is not done here is collected and forwarded to an
appropriate reference laboratory facility for the convenience of our
customers.
Radiology
Comprehensive on-site radiology services means fast test results for emergencies, outpatients and inpatients. Comprehensive services provide needed test results to physicians quickly so that treatment can be initiated without delay.
Reports can be faxed to health care providers in other communities within or
outside of the state. CT Scan is available.

Accurate high-quality mammograms are available with services provided by a courteous, all-female staff, using state-of-the-art equipment.
Rehabilitation
Services
Restoring and maintaining an individual's highest functional level with
daily-life tasks, both at home and work - that's the goal of the Benson Hospital
Rehabilitation team. We work in a variety of settings with patients of all ages
who are limited by physical injury or illness, developmental disabilities or the
aging process. Our continuum of care covers acute care, the transition to home
and return to work. More information
Hospice Services
Hospice is about comfort care and dignity. It is
Medicare benefit, and as such, there are certain criteria that need to be met.
To receive hospice services, a person must be terminally ill, and have a prognosis of six months or less to be on home hospice services.
The hospice nurses are affiliated with Tucson Medical Center's Hospice
program. If there is a symptom that cannot be controlled at home, or if the family cannot manage the care at home, the patient can be admitted to the hospice inpatient unit at TMC, or at the Benson Hospital, until the symptoms are managed, at which time the patient would go back home, where they are the most comfortable and happy.
For more information, call Benson Hospital and ask for the hospice nurse.
Other Outpatient Services
Benson Hospital provides a wide variety of outpatient services including chemotherapy, IV antibiotics, injections and EKGs. Outpatient programs include
cardiology, respiratory, podiatry, women's health and hearing tests.
Free blood pressures are taken by request at the Nurses' Station.
