day surgical recovery, IV medications, injections,
dressing changes, and short term medical problems.
We offer support services for discharge planning

services planning and include follow up inquiries
for patients discharged home. We are patient-centered
and committed to providing evidence based care
by our team of registered nurses, licensed practical
nurses, certified nurses assistants, unit coordinators
and ancillary services.
Our team is participating in a national effort
to improve care at the bedside called TCAB (Transforming
Care at the Bedside). Supported by the Robert
Wood Johnson Foundation’s Aligning Forces
for Quality and the Institutes for Healthcare
Improvement, TCAB is an effort raise the quality
of healthcare, reduce racial and ethnic disparities,
and provide models for national reform. This effort
is aimed at keeping caregivers at the patient
bedside. Our team is working to improve the quality
of patient care, work more effectively and efficiently,
and improve staff satisfaction and retention.
