J33 is a unique multidisciplinary unit which is divided into three sections. It is a fast paced area to work with a high volume of patient turn over. This allows the nursing staff the ability to care for a variety of patient populations which have been treated with cutting edge procedures.


The Cardiovascular Short Stay Unit is a 15-bed outpatient unit which specializes in recovery of patients undergoing cardiac or vascular procedures requiring less than a 23 hour stay. Patients in this unit can be monitored by either bedside or remote cardiac telemetry. The Cardiovascular Short Stay Unit receives its patient population from the Cardiac Cath Lab and also the Electrophysiology Lab.


The Post Anesthesia Care Unit is a six-bed unit which specializes in recovery of patients after thoracic and vascular surgery. These PACU patients do not require an overnight stay in ICU.


The Cardiac Accelerated Recovery Unit is a seven-bed unit which cares for patients undergoing cardiac surgery that are candidates for accelerated recovery. These patients typically transfer to a step-down unit within 23 hours and follow aggressive protocols for accelerated recovery.
