Patient Care Technician - ICA

The Intermediate Care Area (ICA) is a 36-bed inpatient unit. ICA is focused on providing extraordinary care for patients whose illness severity may not warrant an Intensive Care Unit setting, but who are not stable enough to be treated in the Medical Surgical Units. The level of care provided is as a Progressive Care Unit or Step-down level of care. ICA is a unit who achieved gold-level Beacon Award for Excellence from the American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN).

The award honors excellence in Progressive Care nursing and is regarded as the top honor in the field. Currently, the ICA is the only Progressive Care unit in Illinois — and one of only seven in the country — to have earned the gold award.
