There are several medical/surgical units within the nursing division.   Our telemetry unit is primarily for cardiac patients who require cardiac monitoring.   All the RN's on that unit are Certified in Cardiac Life Support and are proficient in reading heart rhythms and caring for cardiac patients.

One of our medical/surgical units treats dialysis patients and another accommodates chronic ventilator patients.   Our ten bed Hospice unit, operates in collaboration with Columbia Greene Community Hospice, and specializes in the care of the terminally ill.   On this unit, family members can be continuously involved in the patient's care to the extent that they chose.   Another unit has nurses trained in caring for orthopedic patients, including those with fractures or total joint replacements .

We also have a dialysis unit where hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis is performed.
