Patients treated include post-surgical patients, respiratory patients, those with sepsis/infections, and chronic illness exacerbations. The PCU bridges the gap between ICU and standard care by offering telemetry, continuous monitoring, and specialized nursing for improving patients who are still at risk for complications, ensuring a seamless transition in care and patient safety. Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips Hospital is recognized as a “Best Regional Hospital” by U.S. News & World Report and a “Best Place to Work in Healthcare” by Modern Healthcare.
