Anyone experiencing chest pain, rapid, irregular heartbeat, dizziness or other cardiac symptoms needs close and careful monitoring. Southeast Georgia Health System’s new Clinical Decision Unit (CDU), a short-stay outpatient unit within the Brunswick Campus Emergency Care Center provides this. “The CDU allows us to evaluate people and get them the level of care they need quickly,” says John F. Wiles, MD, Health System hospitalist. “And it allows us to safely determine when people with non-life-threatening problems can leave the hospital quickly.” According to Mitchell T. Jones, MD., medical director, Cardiology Services, “By establishing the CDU, the Health System took a major step toward better cardiology care. As our community and our over-65 population grow, we need to provide these services. It’s our duty as caregivers to provide safe, compassionate care and to constantly improve the care we provide.” For more information, visit sghs.org.
