The team on 4 East serves a diverse range of patient needs and we pride ourselves on fostering a team-oriented environment, where staff support each other in providing top quality care for our patients. Our team of nurses are able to adapt quickly to a wide range of patient needs and conditions, blending technical proficiency with compassionate, patient-centered care.

About our Unit and Team:

• Diverse Patient Care: Our team treats patients with cardiac conditions, chronic illness, acute medical conditions, and post-surgical recovery. Our 28-bed blended Medical Surgical Telemetry and Intermediate Care Unit is specifically designed to provide acute, preventative, restorative, and supportive care across a wide age range, from adolescents to geriatrics. The unit serves as a key alternative for patients who do not meet the criteria for critical care but still require continuous cardiac monitoring and advanced care.
• Teamwork: Collaborate and work as a unified team with each other and with patients, families, and other healthcare professionals to provide the best care possible. Everyone is encouraged to contribute ideas and share expertise, creating a dynamic and supportive environment
• Quality: We are committed to providing the highest level of patient care, with an emphasis on safety, efficiency, and continuous improvement.
• Expertise: Our highly skilled team of nurses brings extensive expertise in a wide range of specialized areas, including advanced cardiac care, medication management, and the use of advanced monitoring equipment. They are proficient in post-surgical care, advanced life-saving techniques, and emergency protocols. The team is specifically trained to manage complex patient needs, including post-cardiac catheterization recovery, peritoneal dialysis (PD), and the titration of intravenous drips and high-flow oxygen therapy. Their expertise ensures the delivery of optimal care for patients with varying levels of acuity, bridging the gap between general medical surgical care and intensive care needs.
