Ward 28 Coronary Care Unit

The Coronary Care/High Dependency Unit (CCU/HDU) caters for patients requiring a more highly specialised level of nursing care, predominately related to acute respiratory distress, myocardial infarction, other cardiac events, and neurological conditions. The ward also cares for less acute cardiac patients and a variety of medical patients. 


More about CCU

CCU/HDU is a six bed unit, and the ward has 14 beds in total.

The average length of stay varies for each patient and their condition. A person who had a routine post myocardial infarction can expect to return home within seven days of their admission. 

All services provided by MidCentral Health are accessible to the patient, examples being Allied Health Teams, Palliative Care team, Hospital in the Home, and many others.
