What staff are saying:

• “One of my favorite memories about this unit was I worked Christmas one year and the team got together and went into each room singing Christmas carols to the patients”
• “There is constant change on this unit, 6s is so dynamic and we are always changing and adapting to a variety of patient populations, 6S nurses can do anything!”
• “6 South is that we are an acuity-adaptable unit, so we take both ICU and non-ICU patients. Our staff are trained to care for both level of patients, and are specialized in a wide variety of skills”
