We provide high quality, cost effective health care and related services that improve the health status of people in central Iowa. This unit is a 40-bed telemetry unit, providing cardiac monitoring for all patients who require such care. Cardiac monitoring is provided for cardiac patients as well as many other medical illnesses that require careful monitoring of the heart. The purpose of this unit is to provide individualized nursing care for adolescent through geriatric patients who are acutely ill or injured and in varying stages of recuperation from diagnostic or therapeutic interventions. Nursing care is provided for all medical illnesses including, but not limited to, cardiac disease, renal disease, gastrointestinal, neurological, endocrine and pulmonary disease.
Care is provided by highly skilled, competent nurses in a safe and therapeutic environment.
Ten rooms are designed as multi-level care beds to accomodate those patients not needing intensive care but in need of a higher level of care than the general medical unit provides.
