Critical care at Nuvance Health: Why choose us?
When you choose Nuvance Health for critical care needs, you’ll find:
Team approach
Board-certified physicians lead the care of critical patients. A trained specialty staff–including hospitalists, intensivists, respiratory therapists and registered nurses–supports them.
Excellent care
The American Association of Critical Care Nurses awarded Danbury Hospital, Norwalk Hospital and Vassar Brothers Medical Center intensive care units the Beacon Award for Excellence in Critical Care. This national award recognizes units that meet or exceed rigid quality standards based on proven indicators of excellence.
Conditions requiring critical care
Nuvance Health critical care specialists commonly treat:
- Trauma
- Infection
- Surgery complications
- Severe breathing problems
- Cardiac arrest or acute heart disease
- Organ failure
Once a patient improves and is in stable condition, our team may move them to a hospital room or rehabilitation center for less intensive medical care. Patients who have suffered critical illness often need significant time and rehabilitation to get well.
