Our eight ICU suites are designed to provide specialized care for critically ill or injured patients ages 14 years and older 24-hours a day, 365 days a year. Our ICU/CCU Unit is staffed by registered nurses who have completed the specialized education and technical training required for the care of these patients.
The unit is equipped with sophisticated life-support equipment, as well as current medical technology which allows physicians and nurses to monitor continuously all vital signs (blood pressure, temperature, heart rate, etc.). The unit also has telemetry services which enable us to monitor cardiac functions for additional patients in the Medical/Surgical units.
The primary utilization of the Intensive Care Unit is for the continuous monitoring and care of critically ill adults, providing continuous observation and intervention to prevent complications and restore health.
Our Post ICU covers 2,436 square feet and has four single bed suites. The primary utilization of the Unit is as a “step-down” unit for the Intensive Care Unit, providing close, but not continuous patient observation and intervention to prevent complications and restore health.
