Comments about Intensive Care Unit Physician Staffing:

Though we have 24 hour physician coverage in the ICU, we are in the process of recruiting an Internsivist to provide specialized care and expanded coverage for patients requiring Intensive levels of care. We expert this service to be in place by the end of the 2002 calendar year.

Comments about Infants with Congenital Anomalies:

HVHS has a strong relationship with Children's Hospital of Michigan (CHM), an affliate hospital within the DMC. Though we have a Complete Care Nursery and Neonatologist to provide around the clock care to critical and premature infants, we do transfer extreme cases to CHM for Intensive Care services.

While "Open Heart Surgery" as it is commonly known, is not preformed at HVSH, we are capable and do perform surgery on the heart in cases of extreme need such, as pericardotomy. Our mortality rate with these procedures is extremely low.
