Intensive Care Unit

Your family member or friend has been placed in the Intensive Care Unit because they need continuous observation for any change in their condition. The patients in Intensive Care may be connected to machines that continually check their heart function, breathe for them, or regulate intravenous medications. These machines help to identify, prevent, or correct problem conditions when they occur. The nurses have specialized training to understand the patient’s condition and respond to any abnormal situation that may develop with the patient.

During this time, the patient needs plenty of rest so the body will heal. Visiting hours are limited to short periods to allow patients to rest as much as possible. It is important that you provide a phone number where you can be reached, as a doctor or nurse may need to inform you of a change in the patient’s condition.

• Visitors are limited to immediate family members.

• Visits are limited to two visitors for 15 minutes
