    Haverty Family Cardiac Intensive Care Unit


    The Ward Family Heart Center at Children's Mercy Kansas City is the premier high-volume pediatric heart program in the Midwest.

    Our focused, interdisciplinary care of children with complex congenital and acquired heart disease brings to bear the expertise of board-certified pediatric cardiologists, congenital cardiothoracic surgeons, cardiac intensivists, anesthesiologists, and advanced practice pediatric critical care nurses.

    Our facilities include a new state of the art Cardiac Intensive Care unit in 2021 and the most advanced technology available for diagnosis, treatment, and translational research for our patients, who range in age from fetal to young adult.


    Physician Assistants (PAs) provide comprehensive health care services to a defined patient population; obtaining the health history; performing a physical examination, diagnostic, and therapeutic procedures; formulating and implementing a plan of care; and participating in patient and family education.

    PAs will work to provide 24/7 coverage to all high-acuity cardiac patients in the Cardiac Intensive Care unit.

    This includes but is not limited to, single ventricle patients, transplant patients, patients requiring mechanical circulatory support and ventricular assist devices, post-operative patients, acquired heart disease, and post-cardiac catheterization patients.

    In this team structure, CICU PAs provide direct patient management which includes participation in patient rounds, ordering/interpreting laboratory tests and diagnostic procedures, analyzing and prioritizing complex data, developing differential diagnoses, and implementing plans of care.

    These tasks will be completed with direct collaboration with a board-certified pediatric intensivist.

    The CICU PA is expected to work effectively with the medical team by communicating clearly with families, working well with physicians and physician trainees, being a resource to nursing staff, and collaborating with multiple subspecialties that function in the Cardiac ICU.

    Additionally, the CICU PAs collaborate with the CV surgeons on post-operative care, including but not limited to incisional management, removal of chest tubes and pacer wires, and wound vac therapy.

    We are looking for candidates who have a passion for the fast-paced environment of the cardiac intensive care unit and an enthusiasm to grow their career caring for the pediatric cardiac population.

    At Children's Mercy, we are committed to ensuring that everyone feels welcomed within our walls.

    A successful candidate for this position will join us as we strive to create a workplace that reflects the community we serve, as well as our core values of kindness, curiosity, inclusion, team and integrity.

    Additionally, it's important to us that we remain transparent with all potential job candidates.

    Because we value the safety of the patients and families we serve, as well as the Children's Mercy staff, we want to let you know that the seasonal influenza and COVID-19 vaccines are a condition of employment for all employees in our organization.

    New employees must be willing to be vaccinated if found non-immune to measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) and chicken pox (varicella) and/or without evidence of tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccination since 2005.

    If you become a finalist for this position, and have any concerns about receiving these vaccines, medical and/or religious exemptions can be further discussed with Human Resources.
