The surgery unit

has 29 beds. Our dynamic patient population includes surgical,

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 floor admission. We are a level 2 trauma
