Dr. Brian W. Gilbert CICU (C-3)

Named to honour the former chief of the Schulich Heart Centre, the Dr. Brian W. Gilbert Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) on C-3 offers care to our most ill cardiac patients.

Twelve acute care beds in private rooms, equipped with separate washrooms, have been outfitted with specialized infection control equipment. Each room has a private nursing station outside it, with a window so the nurse can monitor the patient to facilitate one-on-one care.

Patients will be seen by a multidisciplinary team which may include a physiotherapist, clinical dietician, social worker, pharmacist, chaplain and a speech language pathologist.
