Patients who need around-the-clock, complex or highly specialized critical
care are admitted to our Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for specialized treatment
by a team of health care specialists in a variety of fields. Our ICU is
staffed by a coordinated multidisciplinary team of board-certified critical
care physicians and highly trained ICU nurses. Others who may be involved
in a patient’s care may include respiratory therapists and skilled
specialty physicians.
Information for ICU Visitors
Visitation is allowed 24 hours a day, although it is not available during
shift changes or to accommodate the patient’s condition and privacy
needs. We ask that all visitors who feel unwell postpone their visits
until they do feel well again. Certain items are prohibited in the ICU,
including fresh flowers, latex balloons and pets. Food and beverages cannot
be left in the room, for the purpose of infection control. In the event
of an emergency during your visit, you may be asked to leave the unit
to ensure high-quality patient care.
