Allevant developed by Mayo Clinic and Select Medical can be transformative for your Critical Access Hospital.

1. about us
Allevant is a joint venture between Mayo Clinic and Select Medical offering
consulting services for critical access hospitals and other providers to develop
high-quality, low-cost post-acute transitional care and ventilator care programs.
Select Medical is a leading operator of specialty hospitals
and outpatient rehabilitation clinics in the United States.
Mayo Clinic is a nonprofit worldwide leader in medical care,
research and education for people from all walks of life.
Select Medical operates more than 100 long term acute care
hospitals and 15 acute medical rehabilitation hospitals in 28
states and nearly 1,000 outpatient rehabilitation clinics in
32 states and the District of Columbia. Select Medical also
provides medical rehabilitation services on a contracted basis
to nursing homes, hospitals, assisted living and senior care
centers, schools and work sites.
Doctors from every medical specialty work together to care
for patients, joined by common systems and a philosophy of
“the needs of the patient come first.” Mayo Clinic, through
Mayo Clinic Health System, has an extensive network of
rural hospitals and clinics in over 70 communities across
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa.”
Our role in the Post-Acute Continuum of Care :: The majority of post-acute care is currently provided in skilled nursing facilities. From 1976
to 2003, hospital readmissions within 60 days of discharge from a SNF experienced a relative increase of 25 percent (American Health Care Association
Annual Quality Report, 2011). Offer your patients another choice with transitional care through Allevant.
