The Telemetry/Stroke unit is located on 9 Central. Patients are under continuous electronic monitoring while on a telemetry unit. This automatically communicates measurements and data to receiving equipment for monitoring. The monitored heart rate, heart rhythm, breathing and more is communicated to a monitoring station for a medical professional to view.

Nurses working on this 9 Central unit know that their nursing skills will be utilized with important, time-sensitive work that save lives. These nurses help patients recover and regain much more function than they might have otherwise experienced.
