Teamwork and professional development are supported by KM8's leadership team, which includes a Nursing Director, Medical Director, Clinical Nurse Specialist, Unit Based Educator, and two Clinical Advisors. The patient population consists of decompensated heart failure, complex arrhythmias, myocardial infarctions, and post-procedural patients, including structural heart procedures, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), electrophysiology procedures, etc. In addition, KM8 is the designated inpatient unit for patients requiring advanced modalities such as inotropic medications, left ventricular assist devices (LVAD), pulmonary artery catheters, and pericardial drains.
