The Full Form of SHC is‍ Serious Health Condition.

Under the FMLA, a serious meadical condition must fall into one of the following categories:

• Inpatient care
• Incapacity for more than three days with continuing treatment by a health care provider
• Incapacity relating to pregnancy or prenatal care
• Chronic serious health conditions
• Permanent or long term conditions
• Conditions requiring multiple treatments

Conditions requiring an overnight stay at a hospital facility (e.g, hospice, or residential care facility) are automatically considered a serious health condition under the FMLA. An employee can use FMLA leave for the time spent receiving inpatient care and for any period of incapacity or subsequent treatment connected to that care.
