Our Patients and Families
4C is a 36 bed adult telemetry step-down unit.  We specialize in the delivery of care to post-operative patients who have undergone cardio-thoracic surgeries such as heart valve replacements/repairs, coronary artery by pass grafts (CABG), left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) implants, heart and lung transplants, various lung surgeries and esophageal surgeries.

Philosophy of Care
Our philosophy on 4C is “Patients and Families First”.  We support this philosophy by providing compassionate care.  We pride ourselves in ongoing patient education, making sure that our patients and families understand their plan of care and participate in that plan as much as possible.  This improves the patient and family outcomes and eases anxiety at the time of discharge.

Our Nursing Team
We have an interdisciplinary and collaborative Team on 4C.  The Team includes Physicians, Registered Nurses, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, ICU Technicians, Physical Therapists, Registered Dieticians and Pharmacists to coordinate our care from admission to discharge.  This Team focuses on individual patient needs to support our patients and families.

4C offers a comprehensive orientation program, as well as ongoing staff education, with Team members who are willing to support one another each step of the way.  We provide a great opportunity to utilize current clinical skills and enable you to build new skills as well.
