Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care
The care your child receives before and after surgery is critical to the outcome.
That’s why the staff in our pediatric cardiac intensive care unit (PCICU) is dedicated to providing excellent care and compassion not only to our patients but to families as well. Families play an integral part in their child’s recovery process, and we include you in every stage of your child’s care.
The PCICU is part of our Children’s Heart Program, which is continually ranked by U.S. News & World Report as a Best Children’s Hospital for cardiology and heart surgery.
