Women's and Children's Services
Across our departments, new graduates and veteran nurses with decades of experience work side by side to provide total patient care to women and children, ranging from stable, low-risk care to critical, high-risk medical services.
Our nurses work alongside a wide variety of specialists, including obstetricians, midwives, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, neonatologists, pediatric hospitalists, and neonatal, pediatric, and family nurse practitioners.
Each unit has an active shared governance that works on quality improvement projects that are staff driven to improve care for our patient populations. Specialty courses are provided in-house, including NRP, STABLE, PALS, ENPC, ACLS, and fetal monitoring.
