Earlier this month, we moved our RETU (Rapid Evaluation Treatment Unit and sometimes called our Observation Unit) from 10 Linsky to 5 Dazian. The RETU team cares for patients who need short-term observation and treatment – somewhere in duration between an emergency department stay and a typical inpatient stay.
We have now moved all of our inpatient medical and surgical units close to one another in our Dazian and Silver buildings which will benefit our overall communication, operations, and patient experience, as well as prepare us for working more closely together in the new hospital in a few years. I can’t thank you enough for your resilience during this first stage in our transformation which has not been easy.
We had a lively ribbon-cutting event to welcome the RETU staff to 5 Dazian. The nurses, physicians, PCAs, social workers, and other colleagues on this unit provide outstanding, personalized, and extraordinarily efficient care. You can click below to see photos.
I am so happy we’ve welcomed the RETU staff to their new and improved home. This is a milestone for us. We will still see more changes in the coming months and years as we adjust our clinical models to serve our evolving community and as we prepare for the ultimate move into our brand new hospital at 13th street.
