FMC Med-Surg Department

FMC Med-Surg department is a 24 bed unit specializing in acute care and post-surgical patients using an interdisciplinary approach. Our dedicated team of nursing and ancillary staff strive to provide excellent and safe patient care. Along with our acute care and post-op patients, FMC Med-Surg is home to our Swing Bed program in which we are licensed to take up to 10 swing bed patients. In this program, multiple teams including nursing, PT/OT/ST, dietary and care management work closely together taking a holistic approach to promote patient independence and to help them achieve their greatest potential. Being a rural facility, nurses learn to critically think and become versatile in their roles. The nurse/patient ratio for this unit is 1:6.
