Critical Care Medicine

A multi-professional and interdisciplinary approach is utilized to provide patient and family centered care in the PICU. In addition to the critical care physicians, the care team consists of consulting physicians and surgeons, bedside critical care nurses, a full-time social worker, certified child life specialists, case managers, pharmacists and respiratory therapists. Individuals from these diverse specialty areas work together to provide care that extends well beyond that which is required for the medical/surgical condition at hand.  A senior critical care physician is in the PICU and available 24 hours a day.  Equipped with the most advanced technology, our team diligently works to improve survival, encourage meaningful and speedy recovery, minimize disability, and relieve pain and suffering in a consistently respectful and caring manner.
