The Medical-Surgical Unit is where most patients spend the night at Craig General Hospital. Staff members provide care for adults and children who are hospitalized to receive medications and treatments or those who are staying for recovery from surgical procedures.

Our nursing staff has a wide variety of training and experience. Nurses work with many other health professionals including doctors, social workers, dieticians, physical, speech and occupational therapists, and respiratory therapists in developing a plan of care for each individual patient. Patients and their families are also involved in establishing priorities for care that best meet their needs.

Although Craig General Hospital’s nurses manage highly technical and complex care situations, it is often a nurse’s kind work, gentle touch, calming smile, or silent presence that make a real difference to our patients.
