Our 19-bed Medical-Surgical unit offers nurses the opportunity to build a broad clinical skill set while caring for a diverse patient population. Nurses care for patients with conditions such as heart disease, COPD, and diabetes, as well as individuals recovering from orthopedic and general surgical procedures. The unit also provides care for patients participating in a controlled medical withdrawal program.

With a typical census of approximately eight patients, our Med/Surg team values collaboration, adaptability, and hands-on patient care. The department welcomes new graduate nurses as well as experienced RNs, making it a great environment for nurses looking to establish a strong foundation in bedside nursing or continue developing their clinical expertise. There are also opportunities for professional growth, including the unit's goal of developing a pathway for experienced Med/Surg nurses to train into ICU care.
