Telemetry units are placed on patients that require monitoring while ambulatory, and hardwire ECG is placed on most patients confined to the bed. Each patient has individualized care to ensure quality service for everyone. The scope of practice includes promoting the practice of all critical care components to enhance the well-being of each patient and improve patient outcomes. We are dedicated to excellence in the delivery of care which is compassionate, patient and family centered, and consistent with the needs of our customers. Fundamental to this mission is our commitment that every patient's visit to Jennie Stuart Medical center will meet and exceed their expectations. We strive to relieve suffering, increase security, promote health, and meet death with respect and dignity.

Our Intensive Care Unit believes in the individualized care of the whole being. Included in this approach is the involvement of the patient and their significant others/supportive relationships in the development of an appropriate treatment process with the collaborative efforts of the registered nurse, physician, social worker, pastoral care, dietician, respiratory therapist, and other ancillary care providers to address key physiological and psychosocial needs.
