Intensive Care
| Presbyterian provides targeted intensive care for all of our medically fragile patients. |
Critical Care Transport
Presbyterian Critical Care Transport takes critically ill infants, children and teens from area hospitals to Presbyterian Hemby Children's Hospital for treatment. The dedicated pediatric
Transport staff was the first team in the area just for children. The mobile unit and its
special treatment team respond quickly to calls. Intensive care treatment begins immediately
upon arrival at the referring hospital and continues during transport to Presbyterian Hemby Children's Hospital. Every effort is made to ensure a smooth transition for the child, family and referring hospital.
Pediatric Intensive Care (PICU)
Within the halls of Presbyterian Hemby Children's Hospital you will find the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Led by pediatric intensivists (physicians who specialize in the care of critically ill children) and a team of specially trained pediatric registered nurses, respiratory therapists and other healthcare professionals, PICU patients receive the high quality medical treatment they need to reduce their length of stay.
Hemby Intensive Care Nursery (ICN)
Located within the Presbyterian Women's Center, the Hemby Intensive Care Nursery provides round-the-clock care for little ones who need it most. In this Level IV Nursery - the highest designation for treating premature and critically ill newborns- neonatologists (physicians who specialize in the care of premature and sick babies) work closely with a team of specially trained registered nurses, respiratory therapists, medial social workers and other neonatal professionals.
