Restoring and maintaining an individual's highest functional level with

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,
and women's health.
Free blood pressures are taken by request at the Nurses' Station.
