Our 19-bed Intermediate Care Unit provides care for patients who require less care than available in CCU but more than the medical-surgical rooms. Patients who benefit from intermediate care include those who have had a stroke, have pneumonia, people who underwent cardiac procedures and other surgeries. Open heart surgery patients are often able to move to the Intermediate Care following a day in Critical Care.

Eleven of the units include a telemetry system which allows nurses to monitor patients' heart rhythms continuously and respond more quickly when necessary. The state-of-the-art system sounds an alarm on the nurse's pager and a small screen allows the nurse to see the heart rhythm.
