AMC Connects Special Edition "Louie & the ICU"

About this episode
Join AnneMarie and Chuck on location for a special edition of AMC Connects as they tour Rome Health's new Intensive Care Unit with ICU Nurse Manager John "Louie" Hawkins. In this episode, we step inside one of the brand-new bariatric ICU rooms and explore the features designed to improve patient care, staff workflow, and family experience: • Spacious rooms built for care teams and equipment • Ceiling lifts in every room to support early mobility • Private patient bathrooms (a major upgrade from the previous unit) • Comfortable family visiting areas with pull-out recliners • Updated whiteboards for better communication and care coordination • Hovermat systems at every bedside for safer, faster patient transfers Louie shares how the new space has improved nurse retention, reduced injury risk, strengthened family involvement, and elevated the overall experience for patients and loved ones. We also touch on the broader master facility plan and the continued focus on delivering the best care right here at Rome Health. Watch the full tour and hear the honest feedback from the team on the front lines of critical care.
