About Our Location
The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at University of Vermont Health – Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital provides comprehensive care for the critically ill. The unit was designed by our ICU staff to provide enhanced care and encourage family support in a healing environment. The unit includes:
- 14 private rooms (all within steps of a large nurses’ station for better visibility)
- Two negative airflow isolation rooms, which allow air to flow into, but not out of, the room. These rooms may be used for patients with an airborne contagious disease.
- Close proximity to operating rooms, post-anesthesia care, emergency department, radiology and the cardiac catheterization lab.
