The Intermediate Care Unit is a 31-bed unit designed to care for patients whose clinical needs exceed what a general medical-surgical unit can safely provide but do not require the full resources of an intensive care unit. The unit cares for adult patients with acute and chronic medical conditions requiring closer monitoring, including but not limited to continuous pulse oximetry monitoring, telemetry monitoring, frequent neurological assessments, and frequent vital signs.

The patient population may include patients with multiple medical diagnoses and/or multi-system medical conditions, pre- and post-surgical/procedural needs, or those transitioning from an ICU level of care.
