Hillsboro Medical Center offers advanced critical care to patients facing a life-threatening illness or injury.

  • 24 hours/7 days a week monitoring.
  • Specially designed ICU rooms for the most acute conditions.

Patients with cardiac, neurological, post-surgical and post-trauma conditions are closely monitored in the Progressive Care Unit (PCU). The PCU also provides intermediate acute-care nursing for patients whose heart rate and circulation are stable.

The unit is equipped with wireless cardiac monitoring. All nurses on this unit maintain an Electrocardiogram (ECG) rhythm recognition competency and are Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) certified.
