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.
