The renovated unit on 4South opens Dec. 17. On that day, we'll begin admitting patients, and we will be fully integrated by Dec. 19.
This new medical-surgical unit will be telemetry-capable and used for multiple levels of care, ranging from medical/surgical to intermediate through the winter months.
The goal after winter is to close the 3West medical-surgical unit and only use it during times of higher census.
As that change approaches, we’ll keep you informed.
