Excellence in Health.
Since 2005









Jack Marshall
August 19th, 1944 - April 25th, 2011


The Caduceus Mercy Hospital was officially opened on March 22nd, 2005 in Santa Cruz, California after many years worth of planning, construction, and delays. Founder Jack Marshall had wanted another hospital in Northern California to compete with the likes of Stanford, UC San Francisco, and UC Davis after realizing just how tight of a grip they had on the hospital circuit in Northern California. The hospital featured every single department that a hospital should, the latest technology at the time, as well as a Level II Trauma Center.

In the first year, the hospital had much difficulty staying afloat due to just how new it was. Nobody knew what the hospital was like, and as a result there wasn't much revenue coming in. As a result, by the end of the 2005-2006 Fiscal Year, the hospital's bottom line was in the red. If they continued to be like this in the next fiscal year, then there would be no choice but to either sell off the hospital or close it altogether.

Not willing to sell off his hard work, Jack Marshall kicked into high gear and pulled some string to get things rolling for the hospital. Some of these things included offering numerous internships in schools all over the United States, including UC Berkeley, San Jose State University, San Francisco State University, and even landing in some hooks in medical school powerhouses like Stanford and UC Davis. In addition, Jack Marshall also used his own money to fund innovations that would make the hospital a much more attractive destination. This included dedicating more structures to research and shifting the hospital's focus to be a teaching hospital.

By the end of the 2006 Fiscal Year, the hospital was not only out of the red, but making a massive profit just based on the influx of researchers and increased quality of care in this hospital. The success had launched the hospital toward fame, and five years later it had been universally acclaimed as one of, if not the top research hospital on the West Coast overall. Constant upgrades and innovations had made the hospital a very desirable place to be for nurses, doctors, researchers, and especially patients.

Ironically, though, Jack Marshall was so busy with saving other people that he could not save himself. It was discovered that he was suffering from Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer. On April 25th, 2011, he lost the battle with cancer and passed away. Subsequently, the board moved to change the hospital's name to Caduceus Memorial Hospital in honor of Jack Marshall.

Today, CMH has risen and cemented itself as the best dominant hospital not only on the West Coast, but also in the entire country. Its cardiovascular, neurology, orthopedics, and pathology department all lead the country with the others being in at least the top ten in the nation.








This is where a lot of interactions happen. There are lounges all over the hospital, but for whatever reason, this one is the most popular one. This is located directly over the main lobby on the second floor of the hospital. It features ordinary break room appliances, such as a fridge, coffee maker, couches, a television, plates, cups, and whatnot. The notorious Nurse Richards also likes to store her food in the fridge here. She is very defensive of her food. If you eat her food (I wouldn't blame you, it's good) and she finds out who you are... well let's just say that you're gonna have to do a lot of things yourself.




Every single employee of the Caduceus Memorial Hospital will step foot in the lobby at least once a shift.
This is where people can be directed to certain departments or wait for loved ones. However, off to the side is a little section of chairs reserved for those waiting for a loved one in surgery. That particular section of the hospital is one of the saddest, because it is where bad news is most often delivered.





What's a hospital without on-call rooms? The life of someone in the medical profession is very exhausting.
They may save lives, but they're no superman. Doctors, nurses, and everyone else can only do so much before being pushed to the brink. When they have some down time, doctors on long shifts typically pile into these rooms and sleep. Of course, there has to be that one notorious on-call room for the you-know-what if you catch my drift. That particular on-call room is the only individual on-call room with one bed inside of it. There is a nickname for it, and it is located in the hospital's West Wing, right next to the urology department.





Got stabbed? Got shot? Got into a car accident? This is the place for you, then! The Caduceus Memorial Hospital's Trauma Center is the place to be for anyone with a life-threatening injury. Every single person in that room is trained to fix nearly anything. Whether it be there or in the surgical rooms. However, this is also area of CMH where the most deaths occur. Not everything can be fixed and not everyone can be saved. But, nobody is going to let you go without a fight.





It should be very obvious what these rooms are for. Operations happen here, no matter what they're for. Some of these rooms feature booths upstairs for people to observe and have insight into what happens in a procedure.
All are equipped with state of the art equipment, some rooms even having robotic equipment for the more dicey procedures.





Ah yes. For whatever reason people LOVE to dish out their emotions and do personal things in here. Nobody knows what it is with hospital elevators, but there are more emotions expressed here than there are in a young adult novel. Is it the air? Is it the people? Is it the stress? We will never know, but a lot of information is expressed here. Not a single word could be said on a trip, but people know. At least, they think they do.













**I know some people hate doing them, so the Appearance, History, and Personality sections are entirely optional! If you wanna do them, cool! If you don't, also cool!

I mean... if you insist 😉

I'm in, I just gotta make a character. I'm leaning towards either making a neurosurgeon or a resident... but then again, maybe I'll make both 😏
