The Med- Surg ICCU (26) beds and the IMCU (18) beds are new state of the art intermediate critical care inpatient units that pride themselves in providing patient centered family care to adolescent, adult, and geriatric patient populations. The mission of these units will be to provide the utmost quality of care to patients and families along with physician collaboration to those patients that require a higher level of care but do not fit the care needs that an intensive care setting provides.

Nurses will be dynamic in knowledge and skill as our patient's service lines are diverse, and will support the delivery of care model that UMC embodies.
