Opening this spring, the new 20-bed ICU will be located on the third floor of the Silver Tower on EvergreenHealth’s Kirkland medical center campus—where we can better provide safe care in the most advanced healing environment. Melissa Lee, MD, EvergreenHealth Critical Care Medical Director
“Our ability to quickly adapt is crucial to providing critical care, and these renovations help us plan for the future by building in the flexibility to integrate new systems and equipment, without adding complexity to the patient’s bedside or requiring further renovations.” Dr. Melissa Lee, EvergreenHealth Medical Director of Critical Care The new ICU creates intentional spaces within patient rooms, and across the unit, that welcome and include families in their loved one’s care, with private consultation rooms for families to gather as a group, seek solitude or talk with their clinical team.
