Making more room for specialty care
Legacy Salmon Creek has completed its expansion into a sixth floor, with four new 16-bed units dedicated to specific types of patients. The expansion increases both overall hospital capacity and level of specialization, with specially trained nurses staffing each unit.
The Total Joint Center, the first dedicated joint replacement center in the Portland/Vancouver area, includes a therapy gym, walking track and education conference room.
The Neuroscience Center offers specialized nursing care for patients with spinal and cranial disorders, and houses the nationally accredited and award-winning Primary Stroke Center.
The Progressive Care Unit, for heart patients, provides cardiac catheterization, pacemaker or defibrillator insertion and electrophysiology procedures, and individual monitoring with state-of-the-art telemetry.
The Surgical Specialties Unit cares for post-surgical patients who have undergone general, laparoscopic, vascular, dental, ear, nose and throat or plastic surgery, as well urology and podiatry procedures.
