The Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) at Penrose Hospital, an achieved Magnet® hospital, houses 36-beds in a Level II Trauma and Primary Stroke Center. The ICU nurses specialize in caring for a broad spectrum of patients that require extensive monitoring and an advanced level of care. Our patient population may include medical, surgical, trauma, stroke and post-operative cardio-thoracic. Our nurses provide care to trauma patients ages 15 years and older and medical/surgical patients ages 18 years and older.

The diverse patient population empowers nurses to develop an expansive skillset. ICU nurses encounter a variety of cardiac and vascular patients that have undergone Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG), transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), valve repairs, aortic aneurysm repair, as well as those that require Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumps (IAPB), Impella (left ventricular assistive device), and Continuous Venous-Venous Hemodialysis (CVVHD/CRRT). Stroke care offers both systemic and intracerebral tPA and Neuro Interventional Radiology procedures (NIR).

We believe in a multi-disciplinary approach to provide excellent patient care. Our interdepartmental relationships allow our employees to treat patients and families with an inclusive care approach. The team works together towards a shared goal of excellent patient experience and a welcoming workplace environment. The ICU leadership and clinical teams promote shared governance through dynamic unit and hospital committee involvement.
