Inpatient Services
Intensive Care Unit
The Intensive Care Unit is a specialty care unit operating 24 hours a day, every day of the year and is designed to provide a concentration of skills, equipment, and facilities for specialized medical and nursing care for the critically ill patient. A multidisciplinary health team cares for the patient who requires continuous, comprehensive, and detailed intensive care because of the critical nature of the patient's disease or illness.
When a family member is in the intensive care unit (ICU), it can be a frightening and emotional time for everyone. Our ICU staff of highly trained professionals uses state-of-the-art equipment for monitoring and treatment. Staff are trained to provide expert clinical care, as well as compassionate support to family members.
We also know that regular updates about an ICU patient's condition are very important. Upon admission a designated family member or friend will be given the direct phone line to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Only the designated person will be allowed to call for information. All other family members should call the designated person for updates.
Visiting Guidelines
Visiting hours are from 11AM - 4PM and 7PM - 9PM, every day. At this time, children under the age of 12 are not able to visit, and there is a limitation of two visitors at a time.
There is a chapel and lounge just outside of the ICU to make it as comfortable as possible for family and friends to stay close to their loved ones.
In addition, care giving by family members is encouraged, at the discretion of the family and patient.
