Telemetry is a 36- bed unit that consists of all private rooms. The unit provides continuous cardiac monitoring and continuous pulse oximetry for all patients. Patients admitted to Telemetry have a cardiac medical – surgical diagnosis including those that are requiring cardiac catherization for intervention and/or diagnostic tests. The unit is a dynamic and fast-paced environment rich with opportunity for learning and growing. We use a multidisciplinary approach to patient care that encourages the team to work with physicians, nursing staff, rehab, respiratory team, dietary and other ancillary team to provide the most comprehensive care for our patients.
The heartbeat of Telemetry is teamwork to provide a patient centered care and a healthy work environment that allows the staff to thrive and grow personally and professionally. We are seeking for individuals who share the same core values to join our faith based organization that is founded on compassion and dedication in serving the rapid growing community. We would like to welcome you to apply and explore what you have to offer and what you can contribute to our team. Come join our Westover Hills family and experience the Westover WOW!!!
