Description

Our 33-bed adult and geriatric telemetry unit provides specialized care for patients who require continuous cardiac monitoring during their hospital stay. We care for a diverse patient population, including those with cardiac conditions, stroke, renal disorders, and post-surgical needs requiring cardiac monitoring.

Our team is dedicated to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care in a collaborative environment where nurses develop storing assessment, critical thinking, and cardiac monitoring skills. Working closely with physicians, therapists, pharmacists, and care management, we provide comprehensive care while supporting one another as a team.

Whether you're an experienced telemetry nurse or looking to grow your clinical expertise, our unit offers the opportunity to care for complex patients, expand your knowledge and make a meaningful impact on the lives of adult and geriatric patients every day.

Additionally, all of our nurses receive their NIH stroke certification training along with advanced life support certification while working on the unit.

We are proud to be designated as a Magnet® nursing hospital and named A Great Place to Work in Healthcare by Becker’s.
