At MedStar Washington Hospital Center, there are seven Intensive Care units. Each unit is geared toward the care of different types of patients, and all are staffed by physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and other professionals trained in the care of critically ill patients.
Visitors are welcome to visit any time of the day or night with the exception of nursing shift change (occurring twice daily between 7 and 7:30 a.m. and p.m.) After normal hospital visiting hours (9 a.m. to 9 p.m.), ICU visitors must receive a special badge from the front desk of the hospital. Families are encouraged to participate during daily rounds, beginning at 9 a.m.
