The surgery unit has 29

trauma and a variety of medical patients.  Our surgeries

typically involve the neck to the gut. This population

includes GI surgeries such as colon resections, small bowel

resections, cholecystectomies and appendectomies.  We also

care for vascular surgeries, mastectomies, thyroidectomies and

maxillofacial procedures, etc.  Patients may have an ostomy,

NGT and / or other feeding tube and / or drains. Trauma patients may

have multiple injuries, chest tubes, a tracheostomy and / or other

drains, but have stabilized enough for a non-ICU / step down med-surg
