Intensive Care Units Valley Baptist Medical Center-Brownsville has a total of three intensive care units. A multidisciplinary approach by a specialized, highly trained team is used in all three areas:

Surgical Intensive Care (SICU)
A 12-bed unit serves surgical patients with acute conditions that require critical care monitoring.

Medical Intensive Care (MICU)
This 12-bed unit serves medical patients, such as those who have suffered a heart attack or stroke.

Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU) This level II Neonatal Intensive Care Unit has 34 beds, divided between the critical and step-down, or intermediate care, areas.

Visiting hours in all three Intensive Care Units are from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and 8:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., but all units are flexible in order to best meet the needs of patients and family. Occasionally, visiting hours may be restricted, due to special patient or physician needs, or because of critical care activities in the unit.
