Pediatric Critical Care Medicine
We’re dedicated to delivering rapid, effective care for critically ill or injured children. Pediatric critical care specialists and a Rapid Response Team monitor children across multiple intensive care units.
Life-saving care around the clock.
No parent wants their child to be in the hospital. But if your little one is dealing with a potentially life-threatening condition or recovering from surgery, you can rest assured they’re in the very best hands.
Leaders in pediatric intensive care.
Our critical care team is available 24/7 to make sure your child is stable and on the right track toward recovery. We continually monitor and assess pediatric patients in all of our intensive care units, including:
- Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU)
- Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CCU)
- Special Care Unit (SCU)

A range of board-certified experts work together to provide exceptional care and the best possible outcomes. Pediatric critical care specialists, or pediatric intensivists, work with critical care nurses, pediatric anesthesiologists, nutritionists, child life specialists, and other providers to support your child’s unique needs.
