Acute Care Unit

At Daviess Community Hospital (DCH), our Acute Care Unit (ACU) is where compassionate care meets advanced medical technology. Located on the second floor, our ACU is designed to provide continuous, high-quality healthcare services with a personalized touch. Every patient admitted to the ACU is evaluated by a skilled physician who works closely with a multidisciplinary team to create a customized care plan.

Expert Care You Can Trust

Our ACU is staffed by specially trained Registered Nurses and Telemetry Technicians committed to delivering exceptional care. These dedicated professionals provide around-the-clock monitoring and treatment, ensuring that every patient’s unique physical, psychological, and emotional needs are met. Their clinical expertise and compassionate approach are central to our mission of delivering patient-centered care.

Patient-Centered Rounding for Better Outcomes

At DCH, we prioritize collaboration through our innovative patient-centered rounding technique, pioneered by the late Dr. Suresh Lohano. This approach brings the entire care team—including hospitalists, pharmacists, nurses, case managers, dieticians, and community paramedics from our Mobile Integrated Health program—together at the patient’s bedside.

During these rounds, patients and their families play an active role in the care planning process. If loved ones cannot be physically present, they are included via phone to ensure seamless communication and shared decision-making. This team-based approach enhances care coordination, improves patient outcomes, and strengthens the bond between our hospital and the community.

Our goal is to ensure every patient receives compassionate, effective care tailored to their unique need. We remain committed to building on Dr. Lohano’s legacy through continued innovation in patient care.

Comfort & Connection Matter

We understand how essential the presence of loved ones is to the healing process. That’s why our ACU was designed to balance advanced medical care with the comfort of patient-family connections. We encourage frequent visits from loved ones while ensuring a restful environment for all patients.
