Potomac Hospital's new Progressive Care Unit opened for business on November 1, 2002. This new, 4,500 square foot patient wing will serve as a model for the future replacement of Potomac's other patient rooms. It will allow us to test new modes of patient care and use this information as we build an all-new four-story medical surgical unit to replace our existing facility. The new facility is scheduled to open in 2006.
Highlights of the new Progressive Care Unit include:
Family Friendly Features:
12-private bed unit
Sleep sofas in every room to encourage family involvement
Comforting décor for a 'homey' feeling
Light-filled solarium for patients and families
Large visitor's lounge with refrigerator, microwave and restroom
Clinical Features:
Nursing stations directly outside patient rooms with convenient window-view into rooms
Nurse servers (supply cabinets) for every room (hall access/room access)
State-of-the-art equipment
Large staff lounge with refrigerator and microwave
