As a regional medical center, Harrison is able to offer the most advanced technologies, including a 20-bed Intensive Care Unit (ICU). This is where we care for patients who are severely ill and medically unstable—that is they have a potentially life-threatening disease or disorder.

ICU care requires a multidisciplinary team of caregivers—physicians, nurses, respiratory care specialists, pharmacists—who provide highly individualized care and monitoring. Among them:

• Our board certified cardiologists, cardiothoracic and vascular surgeons, pulmonologists and intensivists, nephrologists, and a wide range of specialty medical providers are highly trained to care for critically ill patients.
• Our skilled nursing team includes specially trained registered nurses, many of whom are nationally certified in critical care nursing.
• To support the needs of our patients and families, our multidisciplinary team includes social workers, dietitians, physical and occupational therapists, and pastoral care. 
  

Despite the high-tech environment of our ICU, our approach remains rooted in patient-centered care. We also recognize the important role family and friends play in the healing process.

We are proud of the atmosphere we have created that blends high-tech and high-touch therapies.
