Services

Lucas County Health Center offers a full range of medical services, including a 24-hour Emergency Department and paramedic ambulance service with two intensive care ambulances.  The 25-bed acute care hospital is able to meet the needs of its obstetric, surgical, and critical care patients.  LCHC may also meet the needs of patients requiring extended post-operative or respite care.

Expectant Parents await the arrival of their child in the comfort of beautifully appointed delivery rooms.  With wood floors, oak cabinetry and the comforts of home, each birth occurs under the skillful watch of highly trained medical professionals who specialize in obstetrics.

LCHC Surgical Services sees thousands of patients each year, performing procedures for cancer, cataracts, and general surgery.  Visiting surgeons treat patients surgically for problems related to orthopedics; urology; ear, nose and throat; and podiatry, among others.  Other visiting physicians from many specialties see patients in the LCHC Specialty Clinics.

The radiology department has state-of-the-art imaging equipment, including machines for mammography, CT scan and nuclear medicine.  MRI services are also available.

Other departments included at LCHC include physical therapy, counseling services, adult daycare, childcare, diabetes self-management education, registered dietician services, and obstetrics.  LCHC also has a comprehensive laboratory with the latest technology.

LCHC is looking toward the future.  Eight additional rooms came under Northridge Living Center in the spring of 2000.  The Iowa Room, a common room for the Northridge Living Center use, received a major facelift.  Patient room renovations also planned for the acute care wing of the Health Center.

The tradition of providing quality healthcare continues in Lucas County.  Under the guiding hand of its Trustees and administration, Lucas County Health Center keeps its ear tuned to the constantly changing needs of rural healthcare, and keeps its eye on the future.
