We provide comprehensive care to patients both pre- and post-cardiovascular procedural interventions and cardiothoracic surgeries. We specialize in complex, high acuity patients that require knowledge of CRRT , Intra-aortic balloon pumps, Impella assist devices, epicardial and trans-venous pacemakers, and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO).

We pride ourselves on providing quality care with the highest reliability. Staff huddles at the beginning of each shift allow staff to better anticipate patient care needs and share any

important communications. Daily multidisciplinary patient rounds support the review of patient care goals in a collaborative and educational manner. We depend on our team to drive the quality of care to the exceptional level our patients deserve.The multi-disciplinary team consists of our Intensivists, APNPs, RNs, Respiratory Therapists, Case Managers, Social Workers, OT, PT, Speech Therapists, Pharmacists, CNS, Psychologist, and Chaplin services.
