Medical Care at A. Holly Patterson

Recognized nationally as a model for skilled nursing facilities, the Patterson Facility offers innovative care in an environment that treats the “whole” person. The skilled and caring medical staff responds to the physical, social and emotional needs of each resident.

Extensive medical care is provided by the Facility’s physician staff in such diverse areas as rehabilitation services, diagnostic and radiology services, psychiatric and psychological care, dental and ophthalmology care, podiatry services, cardiology evaluations and treatment, and neurological testing.

Not content to be among the nation’s most outstanding skilled nursing facility staffs, the doctors and nurses at the Patterson Facility continuously work to improve their skills through education.
