All patients are assessed on an emergent needs basis and triaged accordingly. Although we do not serve as a major trauma center, appropriate referrals or transfers are made when services are needed that are not available at UT Health Northeast.

ICU services are available 24/7 to all types of patients. Patients are assessed immediately upon arrival for severity of condition. Most critical needs are attended first, using a multi-discipliary tream approach. Our ICU is staffed 24/7 with Registered Nurses, supported by residents, mid-level pracationers and staff physicians.

Infectious Disease
Tuberculosis patients are ususally here for simple medication management of TB medications. Nurses monitor medication intake through Direct Observation Treatment. Many patients have additional ailments, i.e. AIDS, Hepatitis, drug dependency, that require additional care and monitoring.

Hospice
Hospice patients receive pain and symptom management, and may include IV pain medications, which required more complex monitoring. In addition, the patient’s family receives attention as they go through the grieving process, which can require nursing intervention.
