Pediatric Intensive Care Unit

A Place to Heal

The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) in HSHS St. John's Children's Hospital is located on the 5th floor. This eight-bed unit provides care for critically ill pediatric patients under age 18. 
 
A physician with specialized training in pediatric intensive care medicine, called a pediatric intensivist, supervises the care of the nearly 500 children admitted to the unit every year. A team of pediatric specialists is available to provide specialized care. The PICU nurses are highly skilled and specially trained to work in this critical care environment. 

We’ll be right by your side.

Elijah and Kassaundra were very scared when their son had to be air-lifted to the pediatric ICU at HSHS St. John’s Children’s Hospital. The reassuring kindness and compassion of the medical team went beyond their expectations. Watch as they express their gratitude for the care their son received.
