(KAIR)--An open house in Wathena last week served to showcase a new method of recovery now in use at Wathena Healthcare and Rehab. 

Marketing Director David Meyer calls the new Short Stay Express Recovery Unit a “game changer,” saying that it benefits not just seniors, but those 16 and up in need of recovery, with an emphasis on privacy. “ "The thing about the ERU and the short-stay unit is that we have a private entrance for the patient and their family and visitors.” 

The 9-bed wing also features private rooms and bathrooms, mounted televisions, and wi-fi, and is intended for those who don't need around the clock hospital monitoring.
