Your ICU Team

By working with physicians, our ICU staff ensures that quality care is provided to each patient. The following professionals meet daily to discuss each patient’s progress:

Intensivist

A physician with special training in ICU medicine. Each patient has an Intensivist following his or her care, while in the ICU, at all times.

Hospitalist

A physician who sees patients only in the hospital setting. This professional takes the place of a primary care physician while a patient is hospitalized.

Critical Care RN

A nurse specially trained for ICU cases. In addition to clinical care, your RN also has shared responsibility for communicating with you and your family. A nurse will gladly arrange a convenient time to call one designated family member to provide a daily progress report.

Registered Respiratory Therapists (RRT)

As needed, an RRT assists patients with breathing management while they are in the ICU.

Pharmacist

There is a pharmacist on the unit daily to assist with medication administration.

Dietician

Case Manager/Social Worker
