Critical Care at Sheridan Memorial Hospital
Our Intensive Care Unit team includes highly-trained physicians and nurses to take care of you or your loved ones during a critical illness. We understand a critical illness and a stay in the ICU can be one of the most stressful times in your life and we want to help lessen the burden. With the new state-of-the-art ICU at Sheridan Memorial Hospital, we can take care of sicker patients right here at home, close to family and loved ones.
The ICU has 11 rooms, each with a private bathroom, window, and cutting-edge technology to provide you with optimal patient care. We recognize when you are ill, it is an important part of your healing process to have your family and loved ones around you. With this in mind, each room has space for loved ones to be close by and part of your care to help achieve the best possible outcome.
Our ICU has a very low patient-to-staff ratio, allowing for more individual and thorough care.
