Philosophy
Fundamental network facilities are committed to delivering quality infectious disease care and rehabilitative
services to patients of all ages with complex but stable medical and nursing care needs. Comprehensive services
focus on the total needs of each patient. The integration of superior clinical, education, and support services
makes a significant difference in the care of individuals with an infectious disease. To promote optimal outcomes,
a plan of care is established with the patient and family.
