Unit Highlights:

The AdventHealth Altamonte Oncology/Multisystem PCU unit has 36 large rooms with state-of-the-art private rooms with cardiac monitoring capability, which were designed with direct input from the clinical staff.

• We primarily treat an adult patient population diagnosed with lymphoma, multiple myeloma, lung, gastric and colorectal cancers as well as other patients that require critical care in the inpatient setting.
• We function as a multisystem PCU, this allows for a more diverse population which provides nurses with advancement in their critical thinking and hands on clinical skills.
• Average length of inpatient stay allows us to build close relationships with our patient and their families.
• We are very family centered, mission driven, and focused on team engagement

Team Culture:

We are a committed team with complementing skills that value our work environment and share a sense of purpose when caring for our Oncology patients. When someone joins our team, they join our devoted family. Communication and team activities are the key to promoting trust and teamwork. morning energizers and mid-shift huddles bring our team closer together as a daily connecting touch point. Some of our unit activities include celebrating our specialty, monthly raffles, Cancer Ribbon cookie day and taking your chance on the prize-winning spinning wheel! The fun also continues after work with our outside events, most recently, 'Painting with a Twist' and 'Karaoke Night'. Our team also understands the importance of helping our community. We have monthly volunteer opportunity serving the homeless at Orlando Union Rescue Mission. We would love for you to consider our unit as your next home!
