Specialty Hospitals of America was founded under the concept of Healthcare Simplification. As opposed to a general approach that offers broad-based, non specialized services as practiced by most typical, community hospitals, SHA offers more focused channels of care and will provide centers of healthcare excellence in the decades to come. The leadership team at Specialty Hospitals of America has created an operational standard where high-quality and respect are the hallmarks of the patient and employee experience within a financially viable and sustainable business model and environment.

Specialty Hospital of Washington services the Washington, DC area’s critical care patients from two campuses – Capitol Hill and Hadley. SHW focuses on long-term intensive medical care and is licensed as a Long Term Acute Care Specialty Hospital (LTACH). Long-term Acute Care hospitals have become a preferred way to provide a comprehensive, cost-effective alternative to long term stays in intensive care or critical care units of the typical, short-term general acute care hospital.

Capitol Hill Nursing Center at SHW is licensed as a nursing facility and restorative/rehabilitative center that provides care 24 hours a day to help residents achieve their optimum level of wellness and independence. The Capitol Hill Nursing Center offers quality healthcare and compassionate service at an affordable cost.

Hadley Nursing Center at SHW is also a licensed nursing facility and provides the same services as the Capitol Hill Center. It offers a caring and home-like environment and the staff does everything possible to help patients make the transition to a nursing center easier.

Outpatient Surgery Center at Hadley is a first full service, multi-specialty surgery center. It combines a high quality surgery environment and capabilities with the caring and dedication of a health care team of Board Certified physicians, nurses and ancillary staff. The Outpatient Surgery Center offers two operating suites featuring the most advanced equipment and a 6-bed PACU designed to enhance patient privacy and safety. A comfortable and convenient waiting room is also available for families and loved ones.
