Inpatient ServicesAt Advocate Eureka Hospital, we offer quality, professional treatment on our 25-bed acute care floor. Ongoing care is provided by registered, certified personnel for medical-surgical, emergency, pediatric and orthopedic patients.

Interim CareSome patients no longer need acute care, but are still not ready to function by themselves at home or to be transferred to a long-term care facility. Interim Care allows patients to remain in a supervised medical setting on a short term basis. Respite care, or short-term hospital care for people who are not able to care for themselves, allows caretakers to meet other responsibilities with peace of mind, knowing that their loved ones are still receiving one-on-one professional medical care.

Surgical Services Advocate Eureka Hospital offers a variety of surgical procedures. We offer both inpatient and outpatient surgery (including pre-operative consultation and post-operative follow-up).

Diabetes ServicesThe Diabetes Services program at Advocate Eureka Hospital has been recognized by the American Diabetes Association for Quality in Self-Management Education. This is a model in which participants work closely with a team of diabetes educators, including a registered nurse and a registered dietician. These educators assess each participant’s specific educational needs, and then assist with identifying specific diabetes self-management goals, along with the education and behavior intervention tactics to achieve them.

Participation in the program requires referral by a physician. Costs of the program are typically covered by Medicare and most insurance companies.

Diabetes Services also offers continuous glucose monitoring to optimize diabetes therapy, lower hemoglobin A1C levels, and reduce risk of long-term complications.
