With more than half a century of experience in caring for children's hearts, Yale New Haven Children's Hospital combines cutting-edge technology with compassion and a family centered approach to pediatric cardiac care.

As part of our constant effort of providing innovative and outstanding care, we have recently launched a dedicated pediatric cardiac intensive care unit (PCICU) that cares for all children with congenital heart disease. This unit is comprised of 6 dedicated beds to the care of children with heart disease.

The PCICU critical care team practices an “adaptive care model” whereby patients are cared for by the same physicians and nursing staff from admission through discharge.
