Why Mayo Clinic

The Sparta Med Surg Department seeks motivated and autonomous nursing staff to join our dynamic team. The department cares for a wide range of patients of all ages.

Transitional Care Unit (TCU) is an integrated program on the unit, providing skilled nursing care to complicated medical and surgical patients who require additional healing time, are not able to return home, and are not eligible for nursing home placement due to the complexity of their care, lack of funding and/or guardianship issues. Goal of the program is to achieve a state of wellness such that the patient can return to their previous living arrangement or better.
