Outpatient medical service is now one of the major components of our nation’s health care. PAUL B. HALL REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER has expanded its facilities in recent years, creating new outpatient service areas to better serve the people of our region and thereby meets their medical needs.
Outpatient services include general surgery, ophthalmic surgery, cardiology, radiology,
medical laboratory, respiratory therapy and physical therapy, as well as cardiology and ophthalmology clinics.
PAUL B. HALL’S outpatient surgery facilities include a waiting area and six private evaluation cubicles totally separate from the hospital’s regular OR waiting and recovery rooms.
Outpatient surgical procedures represent about 75% of the hospital’s surgical procedures. These include arthroscopy, colonoscopy, lesions, tubal ligations, cataract laser surgery and smaller orthopedic procedures.
The hospital’s Radiology Department is a mainstay of both outpatient andinpatient
services. Our Radiology Department, staffed by a full-time Board Certified Radiologist and certified Radiologic Technologists, performs more than 500 procedures each week. Ultrasounds, CAT Scans, MRIs, X-Rays, mammography and even more sophisticated diagnostic procedures are available to outpatients as well as hospital patients.
Stress tests, EKGs and other state-of-the-art diagnostics are available to our family physicians and our cardiology specialists and their patients. Other outpatient services available through PAUL B. HALL’S Respiratory Therapy Department and our Cardiology Clinics include pulmonary functions tests, Holter monitoring and arterial blood gas analysis.
Patients, and their physicians, seeking outpatient services at PAUL B. HALL REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER are increasing at a rapid rate and the staff, facilities and equipment at Paintsville’s hospital of choice are ready to serve them.
