Department Details

The Intermediate Care Unit is a 16-bed specialty unit designed for patients who need frequent monitoring and advanced interventions but do not require the intensity of critical care. Our team cares for patients recovering from Trans-femoral Aortic Valve Replacements (TAVR), post-operative surgeries, and acute but stable STEMIs and Non-STEMIs. We also manage patients with secured airways on ventilators, low-dose vasopressors, and those recovering from strokes, traumatic injuries, or detoxification.

The IMC bridges the gap between intensive care and general medical-surgical units, offering a safe and supportive environment for patients with complex medical needs as they continue their recovery.
