Tertiary Care
Sometimes certain health conditions, such as those requiring open heart surgery are best treated at tertiary care facilities. Tertiary care facilities offer healthcare services provided by specialized practitioners and which require highly sophisticated technologies and equipment. Admission to a tertiary care facility usually requires a referral from a physician.
HSHS St. Nicholas Hospital and Physicians' Health Network partner with tertiary care facilities in our region to best meet the needs of patients and their families. These facilities include but may not be limited to the following.
The tertiary care provider(s) available to you are determined by your insurance plan. Check with your health care insurance provider or your employer for information about the tertiary care facilities included in your health plan.
