Summary
Who We Are:
LifeBridge Health is a dynamic, purpose-driven health system redefining care delivery across the mid-Atlantic and beyond, anchored by our mission to “improve the health of people in the communities we serve.” Join us to advance health access, elevate patient experiences, and contribute to a system that values bold ideas and community-centered care.
Unit Summary
The Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) is a dynamic and fast-paced clinical environment where nurses play a vital role throughout the perioperative experience. Pre-Anesthesia Screening Services (PASS) provide comprehensive preoperative evaluations, patient preparation, and essential education for patients and their families. PASS nurses also serve as key liaisons, facilitating communication among anesthesia providers, surgeons, and other members of the healthcare team.
Peri-anesthesia nurses in the PACU care for a diverse patient population across a wide range of surgical specialties and trauma presentations. Success in this environment requires strong critical-thinking abilities, expert assessment and intervention skills, and effective communication. Teamwork, adaptability, and exceptional customer service are central to achieving optimal patient outcomes.
