The Intensive Care Services provide comprehensive and age appropriate care to patients who are critically ill or injured in varying stages of recuperation from diagnostic

has a capacity for 12 multiservice critical care beds.  Both units are especially equipped with bedside and centralized monitoring devices including cardiac monitors, invasive and non-invasive pressures, pulse oxymetry, cardiac output monitors and critical care beds.

2nd Floor ICU has four negative pressure isolation rooms and one positive pressure isolation room.  All patient rooms are private single rooms with swing out toilets  (3 rooms with regular toilets) and are equipped with hemodialysis hook-up for inpatient hemodialysis treatments. 1st Floor ICU has one negative pressure isolation and two beds hooked up for hemodialysis treatments. 

 

A family Waiting Room is shared on the second floor for families of  patients admitted to Medical Surgical and 2nd Floor ICU.  A small dedicated waiting area for ICU is also available on the second floor.
