Narrative

When you or someone you love has a life-threatening illness or injury, you can rely on UMass Memorial Medical Center to provide a superior level of critical care.

Led by intensivits – doctors with advanced training in treating the most seriously ill patients – our expert critical care team delivers constant, attentive care in our state-of-the-art intensive care units (ICUs).

Plus, UMass Memorial patients are watched even more closely than ICU patients at most other hospitals in the state. Using an innovative eICU system, we provide remote computer, audio and video monitoring of every ICU patient – adding an important layer of safety that also translates into better outcomes. Learn more about the eICU.

Critical Care at UMass Memorial Medical Center

There are two ways critical care is different from the care provided on regular hospital units:

• A higher level of specialized nursing care: Our highly trained ICU nurses care for just one or two patients at a time on each shift
• Advanced technology: This includes bedside monitors that check heartbeat, blood pressure and breathing around the clock, and ventilators to help people breathe
