For Families

Innovative, Compassionate Care When You Need It Most

At Noland specialty hospitals, we combine innovative technologies with relationship-centered care to meet the unique needs of patients, as well as for those who love them.

What separates Noland from most larger hospitals is our smaller, more intimate setting. It allows administrators and mission-driven physicians, nurses and therapists in an interdisciplinary care team to be highly involved in patient care with more personal interaction with families.

Putting Families First

It is more than a philosophy. It is a commitment to open communication and family involvement, which is key to restoring health and bringing peace of mind.

Physicians visit daily, which furthers education and collaboration. To ensure continuity of care, your loved one will have the same case manager throughout his or her stay, who often serves as the point of contact after he or she leaves the hospital.

It’s all part of our dedication to treating everyone with the compassion, advanced care and dignity they deserve.
