Critical Care Services
Centinela Hosptial’s Critical Care Services Unit provides constant
complex health care for various acute life-threatening conditions for
medical, coronary and surgical patients. Our Critical Care Units are staffed
with highly trained and qualified Board Certified intensive care physicians,
registered nurses, technicians and support staff. We have a wide range
of advanced monitoring and resuscitation equipment in each unit and will
provide you with prompt, high quality medical care. Our staff work collaboratively

at the hospital full-time and make rounds according to patient needs.
Doctors are always available when you need them and can provide prompt
care and scheduling of tests and treatments.
