With an onsite ICU and a skilled respiratory care team, we admit patients directly from acute care settings to begin rehabilitation sooner\u2014even for those relying on ventilators or tracheostomies to breathe.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"paragraph-widget paragraph-widget--card-set idf-block list-card-set\">\n  <div class=\"card-set\">\n          <ul>\n                  <li>\n            <div class=\"card clickable\">\n                              <div class=\"card__media\">\n                  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shepherd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/sci-inpatient-respiratory-0226.jpg\" alt=\"A patient in a wheelchair with medical equipment smiles as a caregiver adjusts a device on them.
