What is the 2 South Observation Unit?

This fast-paced unit provides care for patients who are stable but require additional observation or treatment within a 23-hour period. Most of our patients are Cardiac, but you'll also care for patients with a variety of conditions including Asthma, Syncope, Rule-Out TIA, Abdominal Pain, and Nausea/Vomiting. After completing necessary tests and treatments, patients are either discharged or transferred for admitted into another unit at the hospital.

What Makes Us Stand Out?

Expertise: Our team is skilled and prepared, with training in Trauma and Stroke care to support our patients.

Intermediate-Level Care: We are equipped to manage patients who require titration of drips and closer monitoring, providing a more hands-on, high-acuity experience.

Collaborative & Supportive: Our team is goal and outcome oriented, and we work with a positive attitude! Work alongside proactive, self-motivated team members and dedicated providers who are committed to delivering top-quality care.
