Chelsea Community Hospital Adds Pulmonary Consultations in ICU

Pulmonary & Critical Care Associates of Ann Arbor will operate services out of the Intensive Care Unit at Chelsea Community Hospital.

Physicians are seeing patients daily, Monday through Friday, at the hospital. All of the physicians in this group hold Critical Care Certifications, and serve as intensivists and pulmonologists to some of CCH’s patients.

The group consists of Christine Curran, medical director of both Chelsea’s Intensive Care Unit and Saint Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor’s Medical ICU; Thomas Gravelyn; William Patton; Gregory Stone; Kamal Mubarak; Rajeev Swarup; Parvathy Nair; and Arwa Mohamed Hosni.

“We are so pleased to welcome this group of physicians to our ICU,” said Nancy Graebner, president and CEO of Chelsea Community Hospital “The hospital has long desired to have critical care certified physicians available to our critical care patients, ensuring that some of our more serious patients can receive the highest level of care in Chelsea without requiring a transfer to another facility. It is an important step forward for our ICU and for the communities we serve.”

Curran said the physician group is eager to partner with Chelsea Community Hospital.

“Our physicians are pleased to work with our partners at Chelsea,” she said. “After serving patients in Chelsea’s outpatient clinic for many years as well as the ICU at Saint Joe’s, it is a natural fit for us to provide that same level of care for critical patients at CCH.”

Pulmonary & Critical Care Associates also see patients for follow-up care and outpatient needs in the Specialty Clinic, located in the Professional Building on the Chelsea hospital campus, allowing patients to receive continuous care close to home.
