GP2 is a 24-bed advanced acute care medical/surgical unit. We provide complex patient care for a wide variety of medical diagnoses that require inpatient care and hospitalization.

We are an ideal unit for those who enjoy a fast-paced environment and enjoy working as a team.  GP2 works closely with the emergency room and PACU departments.  GP2 offers a valuable experience for those who want to pursue ER work or may have an interest in becoming a critical care nurse in the future.
