Is there a Rapid Response team at the site?

Alyson Cole
Associate Executive Director, PPMC
As an outpatient facility there is not a Rapid Response Team. The Surgery Center has code carts for resuscitation in the OR or PACU only if needed and staffed by the OR providers. All other departments and the clinical practices should call 911 for all Clinical Emergencies. AEDs are located in the clinical lobbies.
