Job Description

SICU (14 beds): Cares for a diverse surgical population including neurology, neurosurgery, vascular, transplant, general surgery, and OB/GYN surgical patients.

MICU (20 beds): Provides care for critically ill medical patients with diagnoses such as sepsis, respiratory failure, GI bleeds, heart failure, renal failure, and multi-organ dysfunction.
