==MEDICAL SYSTEMS==

Protected within the inner-hull on Deck 8, the medical facilities actually consist of several separate areas surrounding the main sickbay. The primary sickbay facility houses some of the finest crew support technology available in Starfleet. A biobed at the center of the room is located directly beneath an overhead sensor cluster, which feeds a wall mounted display capable of showing vital statistics of a person or other life form. Four other biobeds line one of the walls, providing for care several individuals at one time. Attached to this area is the Chief Medical Officer's office.

Directly attached to sickbay is a secondary ward and the primary medical laboratory. Nearby also rests an intensive-care ward, a nursery, two dedicated surgical suites, and a physical therapy facility. All of these areas have recently been upgraded with holographic emitters that allow for the latest version of the Emergency Medical Holographic System to be used.

Counselor's Office:  Located near the Arboretum on Deck 9, this office is a medium sized room created with comfort in mind to provide a relaxing environment for the ship's Counselor to perform his or her duty.  Away from the busy medical centers on Deck 8, the Counselor's quarters are usually not far from the office.
