Nursing that involves you
A stay in the hospital should be about you and your family. That’s why you have devoted registered nurses and critical care nurses to make sure your care is the best it can be. Our focus on education and collaboration means you have all the information you need. And we invite you to ask questions and engage in your care.

During your stay, you and your loved ones will have a specially trained nursing team dedicated to your care.
Our nurses are here to help with the following:
- Acute (short-term) therapy
- Physical therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Speech-language pathology
- Complex surgery care
- Daytime and overnight observation (because of a medical need or after surgery)
- Medications
- Virtual care
- Wound care
Virtual nursing
With virtual nursing, our in-person nurses are free to do more for you at the bedside. When you need something, you can push a button to talk to a virtual nurse. You also have the option to see them on video. They help answer questions and give instructions. The care they provide is fast, personalized and effective.
Virtual nurses help our floor nurses have more time to focus on your physical needs. You’ll spend less time waiting and more time getting direct care and monitoring in your hospital room.
