Northeast Georgia Health System is rooted in a foundation of improving the health of our communities.

Woody Stewart Heart Failure is a 24 bed Intermediate Care Unit. Our patients consist of LVAD patients, patients with a low EF, heart failure patients that need IV diuretics (Lasix drips and Bumex) and Cardiac drips. The majority of patients have PA catheters that require CVP monitoring. Patients are monitored with bedside and central nurses’ station continuous cardiac monitoring. Telemetry monitoring is provided by the Central Monitoring Unit.

Early ambulation and strict I's and O's are a part of every patient's treatment plan as both are very important with heart failure patients. Patients admitted or transferred to this area are assessed, educated, monitored, cared for and treated. Education is a big part of what we do. Heart Failure doesn't just go away so we educate each patient on how to adjust to a life with heart failure.
