Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Hospital Expands Surgical ICU

The Woodlands, Texas, December 10, 2004 -- Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Hospital has doubled the size of its intensive care unit (ICU), with the addition of a new surgical ICU wing incorporating the latest technologies in the treatment of surgical patients.

The new 12-bed unit specializes in caring for those who have undergone neurological, cardiovascular and thoracic surgeries. As in the hospital’s existing intensive care unit, beds in the new wing are monitored through the Memorial Hermann eICU® Advantage, an innovative system to support on-site care with 24-hour remote monitoring.

“This new unit provides members of our community with leading-edge technology when they need it most,” said Dr. William Parks, chief medical officer for Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Hospital. “We’ve carefully selected the best equipment available to aid in the treatment and monitoring of post-surgical patients, particularly those who undergo brain and heart procedures.”
