Patient Experience | Overview

After your child’s heart procedure, they will recover in our Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU). Our team has created two videos about the CICU journey so you will know what to expect as we support your family. The videos provide a detailed overview of the unit, including the physical layout, the staff you will meet, and the machines that will aid in recovery.

Take a tour of our CICU

From specialized treatment for congenital and acquired heart conditions to personalized support for families, our CICU team ensures your child receives the best possible care in a comforting environment. Watch this video to familiarize yourself with the rooms, shared family spaces, and more to prepare you for your visit.

CICU tour for expecting parents

There might be no place like home, but we want expecting parents to also feel at home at the CICU. See what the CICU looks like and how it functions so that you can feel comfortable and know what to expect when you stay.
