About the DPH Intermediate Critical Care / Multisystem PCU
The ICC / Multisystem Progressive Care Unit (PCU) is a 33-bed unit conveniently located adjacent to the ICU. This unit functions as a transitional care ICU step-down for patients who no longer require intensive care but still need close monitoring.
We cater to adult patients who are stable enough to leave the ICU but require continued observation and care. This includes individuals with potential life-threatening conditions, those recovering from post-cath procedures, patients needing advanced monitoring, specialized medication drips, and/or ventilator support
