The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a 6 bed Medical-Surgical Intensive Care Unit that specializes in the care of the critically ill adult.

The primary diagnoses for admission to ICU include, but are not limited to: myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, cardiac dysrhythmias, unstable angina, respiratory failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, sepsis, cerebrovascular accident, pulmonary edema, overdose, renal failure, gastrointestinal bleed, hypo or hyperglycemic emergencies and major surgical procedures requiring critical care post-operatively.

The ICU provides continuous care and intensive monitoring to adult and geriatric patients who have or are at high risk for developing life threatening medical, surgical or cardiac problems. Therapies include medication and IV therapy, thrombolytic therapy, cardiac and hemodynamic monitoring, pulse oximetry, mechanical ventilation and cardiac pacing.

All rooms are equipped with cardiac and hemodynamic monitoring capabilities and are connected to an eICU (electronic ICU) which provides an additional layer of care for each patient. Through the use of eICU technology, an off-site team of critical care doctors and nurses also closely monitor ICU patients checking vital signs, medications, lab and x-ray results. The eICU system complements the skilled care already provided at the bedside.

The unit is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is fully staffed with Registered Nurses.
