Medical-Surgical
Our medical-surgical nursing staff provide caring and individualized support to patients who may be hospitalized for illness, surgery, testing or observation. This unit also provides innovative chemotherapies for our patients. The nursing staff works closely together with the interdisciplinary team to provide quality care to each patient and their families.
Surgical
The Surgical Unit provides specialized care for patients recovering from cancer-related surgeries and managing treatment symptoms. Our oncology nurses deliver 24/7 care including pain management, IV therapies, wound care, and telemetry. Nurses collaborate with the multidisciplinary team to ensure clear communication and effective discharge planning. The unit is dedicated to evidence-based, compassionate care in a healing environment.
Step-Down
Our Step-down/Telemetry unit provides care for patients that may have complex medical conditions and may require increased post-operative monitoring needs or frequent nursing interventions. Step-down nurses also provide remote cardiac monitoring via telemetry devices.
Intensive Care (ICU)
The ICU presents an environment where nurses can focus on the special needs of critical care patients. Nursing assignments also reflect an emphasis on the high acuity and psychosocial needs of our patients recovering from major surgery and medical patients with acute oncologic complications. ICU nurses are also a part of the Rapid Response team for emergencies throughout Fox Chase Cancer Center.
