Each of the 13 care units at Adventist Hinsdale Hospital is a blend of consistency and uniqueness. The consistency shows in the unit-based leadership model, Magnet tenets, and Watson “carative” principles that guide the mission and vision of each unit. The unique qualities become clear as you walk from one unit to the other and observe the specific ways the nurses apply the Magnet and Watson principles to their individual patient populations.
