Oncology Unit - 4400

4400 is an 18 bed, Oncology / Palliative Care unit. The unit cares for oncology, palliative care, and hospice patients. The nurses are required to become chemotherapy certified through Oncology Nursing Society (a nationally recognized certification). RRH reimburses or pays for this certification for our team members. Staff are also trained to use and care for patients on CADD pumps, used for patients who require high doses and increased frequencies of pain medication. These are seen for a variety of reasons but are commonly seen with sickle cell and comfort care patients. 4400 has achieved the AACN GOLD Beacon award for excellence. 4400 is also a DNV Palliative Care Certified unit.

The nursing staff specialize in compassionate patient-centered care with a focus on quality-of-life interventions. 4400 is accredited by the American Board of Surgeons, giving nurses many opportunities to make a difference by offering physical & psycho-social care for patients & their families. Nursing staff are responsible for assessing patients, passing medications, and following provider orders for patient specific tasks. We provide multidisciplinary support with daily care team rounding and geographically assigned teams.
