The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is a 16-bed
Medical/Surgical unit where approximately 750 critically ill
children per year receive care and treatment. The staff
consists of 4 PICU physicians, a unit manager, a unit
nursing director, 50 staff nurses, 3 unit secretaries and 4
unit aides. Patients in the PICU are managed by a
multidisciplinary group including: PICU staff physicians and
pediatric subspecialists, specifically certified nurses,
pediatric respiratory therapists, child life and
rehabilitation specialists, nutritionists, pharmacists, and
social workers. Our goal is to provide comprehensive
family-centered care in an acute care setting.
A PICU staff physician is always on call and available to
answer questions and to facilitate the transfer and
admission of patients requiring critical care and intensive
monitoring.
