Kadlec was the first hospital in the area to include an intensivist as part of its medical staff. An intensivist specializes in treating seriously ill patients and manages the care of patients while they are in Kadlec's ICU. Kadlec has an Intensivist on duty 24 hours a day. The rest of the ICU staff has also received specialized training to care for our critically ill patients.

The ICU at Kadlec Regional Medical Center cares for patients who are medically unstable and require advanced monitoring while recovering from illnesses or procedures. Conditions include:

• Major surgery
• Heart attack
• Respiratory failure

This list is not all-inclusive; patients enter the ICU for a variety of reasons. These circumstances are often unforeseen, but we are well equipped to treat all patients who require specialized help during their recovery period.

ICU visitor hours: 6 a.m. - 9 p.m.

In order to maintain a comfortable and respectful environment for all patients, we kindly request that you limit the number of visitors in the room to three at any given time.

Additionally, only one overnight visitor is permitted, and children under the age of 10 are not allowed in the ICU.

We also request that you minimize the number of visitors in the waiting area, as there are multiple patients with visitors. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
