Intensive Care Unit

AVRMC's Intensive Care Unit was remodeled in 2000 and is currently located on the second floor. Our caring and dedicated nurses are highly qualified and trained to read 24 hour cardiac monitoring, central venous pressures, and arterial lines. They are ready for any emergency and are current in pediatric and adult life support. Their skills include the management of IV therapy, life saving medicated drips, post surgical care, cardioverison, placement of pacemakers, ventilators, and care of trauma victims. They are also trained in donor alliance and are able to assist with end of life decisions.

Our ICU Staff takes pride in caring for the needs of our patients and family members in the community.

Comments From Our Patients & Their Families . . .

"We are so grateful to have a helpful & caring ICU as we do. Thank you for the great care you gave our mom. . . . . Thank you all so much! Especially Amy, Judy, Deanna and Kimberly."

"I would like to say that everyone that worked in the I.C.U. was great, caring, very skilled professionals. Their care doesn't stop with the patient, it continues on to the patient's family and friends. I spent most of my time there day and night and if I needed anything for my wife or myself, all I had to do was ask. The entire I.C.U. staff always had a smile and such a good attitude."

"There are not words to accurately express my gratitude for the excellent care you provided for my father. Your efficiency, warmth & compassion were amazing and I will always be grateful to all of you."
