Nurse Tech Cardiothoracic Stepdown Unit
About The Position
7 Meijer Heart Center is a 46-bed Non ICU unit that cares for cardio-thoracic patients after surgery. We specialize in both cardiac, pulmonary and transplant care. Our primary patient populations are post-operative coronary artery bypass (CABG), cardiac valve surgeries, lung surgeries, heart, and lung transplant, and VAD patients (an artificial heart pump). We admit post-surgical patients’ day of surgery, after the cardiovascular recovery unit or from the Cardiothoracic ICU (CTCC) depending on their procedure and clinical needs. If a patient needs intensive care, they are transferred to CTCC and return to us when their condition has stabilized. The heart and vascular systems demand extraordinary care. It begins with heart specialists who can expertly monitor your entire heart and vascular system and perform anything from a bypass to vascular surgery to a heart and lung transplant. Discover a true continuum of heart and vascular care. Through research, innovative treatments, and best practices our teams are advancing heart and vascular care for the patients we are privileged to treat. Our other sites are outpatient imaging departments.
