Inpatient Nursing
Intermediate Care Unit
Included within our Medical/Surgical Unit, staff manage patients that are highly complex with acute and chronic diseases or injuries needing continuous monitoring and support but are slightly less critical than Intensive Care Unit Patients.
Medical/Surgical Unit
Our Medical/Surgical Unit cares for patients admitted directly or through the Emergency Department, Surgical Services, or transfers from the ICU. Our staff cares for patients with dialysis, telemetry, orthopedic injuries, bariatric surgery, and general surgery, as well
as patients recovering from brain injury and stroke.
RNs hired into the Medical/Surgical Unit also care for Intermediate Care patients upon completion of training program.
Mental Health Unit
Natividad’s Mental Health Unit (MHU) focuses on treating and managing acute mental illness for individuals with depression, bipolar disorders, and schizophrenia. This acute inpatient unit is a aocked unit that provides safe care for patients with support of a full
interdisciplinary team.
