Hillcrest Specialty Hospital

Hillcrest Specialty Hospital is a long-term acute care hospital (LTACH) located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, that provides specialized medical care for patients with complex, high-acuity conditions. The facility is designed for patients who require extended hospitalizations, typically 25 days or longer, following an initial stay in an intensive care or short-term acute care unit. Key services include ventilator weaning, pulmonary care, complex wound management, and long-term antibiotic therapy. As part of the Hillcrest HealthCare System and owned by Ardent Health Services, the hospital utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to transition medically fragile patients toward recovery or lower levels of care. The hospital serves as a critical regional resource for patients who are too ill for traditional rehabilitation centers but no longer require the services of a traditional emergency-focused acute care hospital.
