About This Unit 7MHC is a 46‑bed unit that cares for cardio‑thoracic patients after surgery. We specialize in cardiac, pulmonary, and transplant care. Our primary patient populations are post‑operative coronary artery bypass (CABG), cardiac valve surgeries, lung surgeries, heart and lung transplant, and VAD patients (an artificial heart pump). We admit post‑surgical patients on the day of surgery, after the cardiovascular recovery unit or from the Cardiothoracic ICU (CTCC) depending on their procedure and clinical needs. If a patient needs intensive care, they are transferred to CTCC and return to us when their condition has stabilized.
