Intensive Care Unit

Mercy Medical Center opened a new intensive care unit (ICU) in 2009. This 24-unit is a family-focused, state-of-the-art facility with leading-edge, critical care technology located behind the Mercy Surgery Center. The ICU includes an expansion of the surgery center parking garage and relocation of the helipad to the roof of the new ICU.

Hospital ICUs provide critical care for patients with life-threatening illnesses or injuries. Most ICU patients have sustained – or are at risk of suffering – the failure of one or more vital functions, systems or organs. Consequently, these patients require rigorous care and monitoring to reverse their near-fatal conditions and temporarily support them while they recover from the underlying disease or injury. This care may be necessary for a period of hours, days, weeks or sometimes even months.

Mercy has one of the very finest multidisciplinary critical care teams (the core approach to ICU care today and in the future). And, this team – including physicians, nurses and health care professionals – has been involved in the design of the new ICU from its inception. The advanced facility will allow Mercy to elevate the care of its patients and their families to the next level of excellence and compassion.
