The Swing Bed program at Rainy Lake Medical Center provides short-term, skilled care in a hospital setting. Swing Bed allows your healthcare team to change—or “swing”—your level of care from acute, which requires hospitalization, to skilled nursing, rehabilitation, or other skilled services. RLMC’s orthopedic patients, such as those recovering from total knee replacements performed here in our Surgical Center, or in another facility, can also access the Swing Bed program.
