RN High-Risk Postpartum
About the Unit
Our 20-bed High Risk Postpartum / Women’s Health unit is located on 7 Center at Butterworth Hospital. We provide couplet care, where we care for both mom and baby together. Two-thirds of our patient population is typically related to diabetes management, complications due to high blood pressure, Covid-19, and more. We care for newborns that have issues with feeding, blood sugar management, and high bilirubin levels. We also provide care for post-op urology and gynecological patients.
What Staff Are Saying:
- "We display strong leadership by taking different patient populations that we are not used to and learn to adapt."
- "I am especially proud to work with highly capable and compassionate RNs who I can honestly call friends. I have worked on this floor for almost 17 years because of the caring and helping atmosphere!"
- "I never feel alone on this unit. It's a teamwork situation every day! We check in with each other, volunteer to help with busy staff, and support each other as human beings with complex busy lives. It's like a family!"
