• Six fully private patient rooms – twice the size of the current ICU rooms – with a designated bedside area for family visitation.
• State-of-the-art technology, including patient beds that allow for full 360-degree access to the patient.
• Private family waiting area specifically designed to meet the needs of friends and family members of critically ill patients.
• Improved storage areas that provide quick access to all needed supplies within the unit, increasing efficient care.
• Updated exterior windows maximize daylight exposure to enhance healing and recovery.
