Job description

About the unit

The Medical ICU is a 24 bed unit on 8 Meijer Heart Center within Butterworth Hospital. The unit takes care of critically ill patients, and specializes in the care of a variety of medically complex patients, including those that are diabetic, Ketoacidosis patients, mechanically vented patients, critically ill bone marrow transplant patients, sepsis and pneumonia patients as well as many others.
