Medical, Surgical & Pediatrics Nurses (Inpatient Nursing)

	Lori Cooper, RN, C.

Our Medical/Surgical/Pediatric Unit, currently comprised of 36 beds with another 18 private beds to be in service by 2010, offers a safe and nurturing environment for patients of all ages.

Telemetry, oncology, palliative care, orthopedic surgery, joint replacement, general surgery, cardiac/respiratory, diabetes, stroke and gynecological surgery are all part of our practice.

We conduct on-going patient education regarding medications, new diagnoses, and self-care.

Each room is equipped with a message board that lists all nurses and other staff who are responsible for the patient’s care each day, along with any procedures or tests that the patient will be undergoing during the day. This allows family to be aware of what is happening and provides a basis for interactions with the patient and the hospital staff.

Sixteen of the nurses hold advanced certifications in Oncology, Medical/Surgical Medicine, and Geriatrics.
