and the 11th largest children's hospitals in the
U.S.
Located on the 6th floor, the unit houses
30 private rooms - 12 in CVICU and 18 in PICU. The
unit was created with the family foremost, and encourages
interaction between parents and caregivers in a peaceful,
healing environment. Innovative in its design, the
unit features private patient rooms with sofa/sleep
beds and separation curtains for parents, satellite
nursing stations throughout the unit with bedside
charting, and advanced equipment that gives caregivers
360 degree access to patients.
The unit also

are also located on the unit.
