Critical Care is for patients of any age with serious health issues who need intensive care and monitoring above the requirements of the general hospital. These types of patients may include those who have or are recovering from life-threatening illnesses, have had invasive surgery, or have experienced major trauma. 

Our specially trained team of physicians and advanced practice providers care for these patients in the ICU. This team is composed of experienced staff from many different departments/specialities. The team may include: nurses, physicians, care managers, and respiratory therapists, physical and occupational therapists.
