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.
The growth of West Michigan has resulted in the increased need for hospitals beds and specifically intensive care beds.
The 8th floor of the Meijer Heart Center once housed Ambulatory offices and conference rooms. This space is completely renovated to become the new MICU. Accepting a position with the MCC offers a unique experience of moving to a brand new critical care unit.
