The Progressive Care Unit (PCU) includes 27 beds and is the stepping stone for patients who are ready to leave ICU, but not ready for standard medical care.

The PCU provides 24 hour continuous, comprehensive nursing care to an acute medical-surgical patient population. The patient population on PCU includes adults through the geriatric life span of development who are stable but have complex needs and require more comprehensive care.

Patients include those who are on a stable, nontitrating, cardiac drips, have suffered a stroke, but do not need the high level of care provided by ICU or may have minor respiratory distress such as a need for continuous BiPap.
