About the Unit:
The Cheboygan Emergency Department is a nine-bed emergency department serving a rural Northern Michigan community. As part of a smaller community hospital, the department provides 24-hour emergency evaluation, stabilization, treatment, and disposition for patients of all ages and a broad range of acuity. The department may see anything from minor illnesses and injuries to critically ill patients requiring immediate stabilization and transfer to a higher level of care.
Staffing resources are more limited than those found in larger tertiary emergency departments, and team members frequently work across roles to meet the needs of the department. Nurses, patient care technicians, and providers work closely together to maintain patient flow, respond to changes in acuity, and ensure patient safety.
Our goal is always to provide safe, timely, compassionate, and patient-centered emergency care while creating an environment in which staff support one another, communicate effectively, and work together as a team. In a small department, every team member has a meaningful impact on the patient experience and on the overall success of the department.
