“STAT has been looking for innovative ways to expand its offerings and reach more patients with the care they need, in the places they need it,” said Dan Lonergan, managing member of STAT. “We are doing it with the introduction of micro-hospitals. Micro-hospitals really are just a smaller-scale version of a hospital in service offerings, size and cost.”
Castroville Community Hospital will have four to five in-patient beds, one to two procedure rooms, a 24-hour emergency department with in-house pharmacy, imaging and lab services directly within the community of Castroville. Most importantly, our micro-hospitals are meeting both community and health system needs with our unique offerings. The key is offering hospital-level quality of care in locations that are convenient for our patients and at lower costs than a traditional hospital. As we seek ways to help lower the cost and improve the value of health care, we can work with local physicians in providing care in a cost-effective, local setting.
“We look forward to our grand opening and the opportunity to serve the Castroville community and surrounding areas as well as collaborating with local health care providers,” concluded Lonergan.
“Trusted for Our Experience Chosen for Our Care”
