The Medical Surgical unit at Mercy Rogers is a 48-bed unit that manages acute medical surgical patients with a wide range of diagnoses and care needs.

This can include care of patients with illnesses such as pneumonia and sepsis; as well as pre and post op management of pain, wound care, and monitoring for any complications post procedure.
The Med-Surg unit also manages chronic conditions such as diabetes, COPD, and chronic kidney disease. Service lines include oncology, nephrology, urology, gastroenterology, and many more.
