Join Community Community Health Network was created by our neighbors, for our neighbors. Over 60 years later, “community” is still the heart of our organization.

And above all, it means exceptional care, simply delivered — and we couldn’t do it without you. Make a Difference The Registered Nurse ECMO Specialist provides nursing care to cardiac or respiratory failure patients who require ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) therapy within the Cardiovascular ICU. This includes patient management, monitoring, and maintenance of the ECMO circuit, and responsibilities related to rapid response for ECMO cannulation, equipment/pump initiation, and set-up. Initial training will be within the Cardiovascular ICU as a staff RN and the expectation will be to float between the staff RN role as well as the ECMO Specialist role. While ECMO experience would be a plus, training will be provided within the department. The Cardiovascular ICU is a 24-bed unit that serves some of the sickest cardiac/vascular patients in the city.
