Radiology Care Unit

We are proud to have a dedicated Radiology Care Unit (RCU) at Cheyenne Regional Medical Center. This unit is staffed by a team of highly skilled registered nurses who are specially trained in caring for patients undergoing invasive procedures in Medical Imaging. They hold certification in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS). They ensure the highest quality care for patients who require nursing care in Medical Imaging.
