The Center seeks an organization to manage a 16 bed Ventilator Unit in its all new 170 bed Skilled Nursing Facility. The Ventilator Management Company must have over five (5) years experience in ventilator management for 16 or more ventilators in a free standing skilled nursing facility. Experience as the management company in a ventilator start up situation is critically important. Start up of the vent unit is expected to be March 1, 2012 for patient admissions yet we expect the ventilator management contractor to develop and prepare for operations prior to that date.
