This 16-bed progressive care unit cares for patients with various diagnoses. We often see patients being admitted for sepsis, chronic wound care, psychosocial behaviors, complications or side effects of treatment/therapy, bleeding, respiratory complications, goals of care conversations, and so much more. Patient care is a collaborated approach with our multi-disciplinary and consultation teams. Our unit shares space with the ICU which allows for a close working relation with our ICU partners. We are a patient centered team with an extreme compassion to support and advocate for our patients. Our unit has allowed us to provide individualized care to our patients and their caregivers with the installment of new medical equipment and amenities. Given the size of our unit and the patient population we serve, we are given the opportunity for new learning experiences that will provide personal growth within our nursing profession.
