J33 is a fast-paced, 28-bed cardiovascular recovery unit consisting of the Cardiovascular Short Stay Unit and the Post Anesthesia Care Unit/Cardiac Accelerated Recovery Unit.

In the Cardiovascular Short Stay Unit, patients recover from conscious sedation procedures such as cardiac catheterizations and electrophysiology interventions, typically requiring less than a 23-hour stay with telemetry monitoring as needed. The unit also prepares patients for kidney, liver, heart, and lung transplants.
