Join Community
Community Health Network was created by our neighbors, for our neighbors. Over 60 years later, “community” is still the heart of our organization. It means providing our neighbors with the best care possible, backed by state-of-the-art technology. It means getting involved in the communities we serve through volunteer opportunities and benefits initiatives. It means ensuring our dedicated caregivers can learn and grow to stay at the top of their fields and to better serve our patients. And above all, it means exceptional care, simply delivered — and we couldn’t do it without you.

The cardiac surgical PACU nurse is responsible for the immediate postoperative care of patients who have undergone cardiac surgery. Their role includes monitoring vital signs, managing pain, ensuring the stability of the patient's condition, and addressing any complications that may arise. They also provide support and education to patients and their families about postoperative care and recovery. Additionally, they collaborate with the surgical team and other healthcare professionals to ensure a smooth transition from the PACU to the next phase of recovery.
