Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital
 

Surgical, Medical and Coronary

The intensive care units are also sometimes known as critical care units. These units are specifically designed and equipped to care for seriously ill patients who suffer from complex health conditions. Organized to provide continuous specialized nursing care, the units are equipped with the newest technology in medical and surgical care. Patients are admitted to these units when their physicians and nurses determine their condition requires a more intensive level of care.

Upon admission to these units, relatives are asked to take home any personal possessions of the patient. Patients in these units may not receive flowers, gifts, or foodstuffs. Because of the nature of these specialized units and the care provided, visiting hours are restricted and no private duty nurses will be necessary.
