Reid names Critical Care Unit Director
Jamie
Baldwin, RN, a Richmond-area resident of long standing, has been named Unit Director of
Critical Care at Reid Hospital & Health Care Services.
A six-year veteran of Reid, Baldwin earned his BSN degree at IU East in 2001 and completed an IUPUI Master's in Nursing Administration in 2007. A graduate of Richmond High School, he'll be leading the critical care unit through its transition to the New Reid Hospital later this year.
"We're excited about the move, of course," Baldwin says. "We'll be getting a wonderful new unit to meld with Reid's traditional and central dedication to providing the best possible care."
The critical care unit crew is as good as any, and its members will deal with the groundbreaking challenges with their usual efficiency and can-do attitude, Baldwin said.
"One of the obvious differences in the new layout, and one change enabled by Reid's state-of-the-art medical technology, is that we'll be putting nursing expertise back at the patient's bedside," Baldwin said. "Everything will be right there in the room."
While the move, its preparation and its aftermath will be demanding, Baldwin said, the unit is confident it will soon be better able to serve its patients and their families.
