The
Intensive Care Unit
At Rutland Regional Medical
Center, our Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a modern, 13-bed facility that treats critically ill adult medical
and surgical patients who need complex, specialized medical care and constant
monitoring. The ICU offers:
- Close Observation & Monitoring by Specially Trained Professionals
- Special Procedures at the Bedside

and Phone
Leading our intensive care
team is a board-certified critical care
physician (intensivist) and nurses with advanced training. ICU patients also
benefit from the extensive range of skilled specialty physicians, respiratory
therapists and other health professionals available at the hospital.

Visitation is limited to immediate
family and significant others. Children under the age of 12 are allowed to
