Cardiac Patient Bed
No matter what type of cardiac care a child needs, the Congenital Heart Institute at Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children provides the most sophisticated technology and procedures available anywhere. This means quicker recovery times, shorter hospital stays, fewer hospital visits, a better outcome, and ultimately - better health. There are only 20 congenital heart centers in the United States; Arnold Palmer Hospital has the distinction of being a partner in one of them alongside Miami Children's Hospital. The goal is to provide a comprehensive, state-of-the-art cardiac program serving patients across Florida, the Southeast and the world. The current Cardiac Intensive Care Unit is the space that was vacated when the Pediatric ICU moved to the newly constructed unit in 2006. As a result the area will undergo a redesign of the in-patient area to include a total of 14 beds and a step down unit. In 2008 Arnold Palmer Hospital was accompanied by Miami Children's Hospital in U.S. News & World Report's coveted Top 30 pediatric hospitals for heart care and heart surgery.
