Centers of Excellence
Besides a highly skilled and well-trained staff, FPH also uses the
latest technology and procedures to provide our patients with high
quality medical care. And we offer additionally specialized
treatment and care through our “Centers of Excellence.”
Diabetes
Care Unit -
This inpatient specialty unit boasts specially educated and
certified RNs and LVNs who care for medical and surgical patients
with Diabetes. The staff of nurses, dietitians and counselors
provides participants with the information they need to effectively
manage their diabetes. Instruction includes nutrition, exercise, and
stress management, home glucose monitoring, and learning to live
with diabetes. This program is recognized and approved by the
American Diabetes Association as a Center of Excellence for diabetes
education.
The Newborn
Inn - Our
Perinatal unit was the first in the area to offer single room
maternity care where mothers can labor, deliver, recover and receive
postpartum and infant care in the same room. In conjunction with the
Diabetes Education Program, moms with gestational diabetes receive
prenatal care and monitoring which allows them to deliver in our low
risk unit.
Emergency
Department
- Physicians and Registered Nurses who specialize in Emergency
Medicine provide a high level of care to an ever-growing number of
patients. The department carries EDAP (Emergency Department Approved
for Pediatrics) certification which recognizes the staff and
equipment available to provide care for pediatric patients. A FAA
approved heliport serves as an alternate means to transport patients
to and from the hospital.
Pay and Benefits
Foothill Presbyterian Hospital proudly offers a comprehensive array
of employer-sponsored and voluntary benefits. In fact, our employees
tell us that the employee health insurance contributions and co-pays
are among the most competitive in the area. Keeping current with
market-driven pay and benefits is very important to us. At Foothill
Presbyterian Hospital, labor market and salary data is regularly
reviewed and compared to our current pay practices. Market
