Inpatient Unit - Medical Surgical Department

Medical Surgical Services at Rush Memorial Hospital

Our 25-bed Medical-Surgical (Med-Surg) Unit provides a wide range of medical care from pediatrics to geriatrics. We have a highly qualified and talented staff experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of common illnesses and chronic diseases.

We offer multiple levels of care:

  • Acute Care
  • Skilled Nursing
  • Observation Services.

Our two-bed Progressive Care Program is equipped to meet your higher-level acute care needs. We recently added a two-bed Intensive Care Unit to provide care for patients with complex needs in a more advanced setting.

During your stay, we want you to be as comfortable as possible which is why the department operates with above-average staffing patterns and provides personalized nursing care with a team of Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, and Patient Care Technicians. Nutritional consults, individualized discharge plans, respiratory and rehabilitation therapies and more, are available from team members committed to your recovery and care.
