Care doesn’t always end at discharge. For many patients, the most important progress begins after they return home. That’s exactly where Renown Health’s Home Health department plays a vital role. Serving communities across northern Nevada, from up north in Red Rock and Spanish Springs to down south in Carson City, our Home Health professionals are on the frontlines of ensuring patients transition safely from hospital to home. The team provides a wide variety of expert health services, all coordinated to reduce readmissions, improve care outcomes and help patients regain a level of independence.

Department Spotlight: Intermediate Care Unit

Remember the 2000s era iPhone commercial with the “There’s an App for That” tagline? Let’s put a healthcare spin on that – at Renown Health, there’s a unit for that. Emergency, labor and delivery, pediatric acute care, trauma, surgery, the list goes on. When it comes to critical care, your mind probably jumps to either the intensive care unit (ICU), emergency room (ER) or a unit that provides care for a more standard hospitalization. But what about the patients who fall in between those two levels of care? Yep, there’s a unit for that at Renown, too. It’s called the Intermediate Care Unit (IMCU), located on the sixth floor of the Tahoe Tower (T6) at Renown Regional Medical Center, boasting a dedicated team of nurses, physicians, critical care technicians and more. The IMCU cares for patients who still need close monitoring and specialized care but don't need an ICU stay. Everyone in this department shares common missions: catch early signs of change, intervene swiftly and help patients progress to a lower level of care – and eventually, back home.
