- Long-Term Acute-Care: Lourdes Specialty Hospital of Southern New Jersey is a 30-bed facility which cares for seriously ill patients who require extended hospital stays (an average of 25 days) before returning home. Patients are admitted directly from short-stay hospitals, often from intensive care units, with ventilator-dependent respiratory failure or other complex medical conditions that require aggressive and continuous acute-care services. The unit is designed for patients with cardiopulmonary conditions resulting from trauma; a severe medical illness or post-operative problem, or the development of an acute illness superimposed on a chronic illness like malnutrition, cardiac disease or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Patients get the time to heal before being transferred to a rehab hospital or skilled nursing facility.

“Don’t you know there are 200 temperance women in this county who control 200 votes. Why does a woman work for temperance? Because she’s tired of liftin’ that besotted mate of hers off the floor every Saturday night and puttin’ him on the sofa so he won’t catch cold. Tonight we’re for temperance. Help yourself to them cloves and chew them, chew them hard. We’re goin’ to that festival tonight smelling like a hot mince pie.”
