Mobile Intensive Care - an intensive care unit on wheels...

All of our paramedic ambulances are fully equipped for emergency care and transport.  But when critically ill or injured patients need specialized transportation between facilities for more definitive care, we provide our specialized Mobile Intensive Care Units (MICUs).

Our MICU staff offer the most advanced level of care currently available in inter-hospital ground transportation.  MICU paramedics complete advanced classroom and hospital-based clinical education that prepares them to monitor and treat critical patients during interfacility transfers.  Equipped with critical care monitoring equipment, MICUs transport patients on ventilators and those with complicated or multiple intravenous lines, including IV medications.  Our MICUs also provide these benefits:  hospitals do not need to send additional staff on MICU transports and critical patients can be safely transported when air ambulances are unavailable or not feasible.

HVA operates three MICU ambulances, 24-hours per day in Washtenaw, Wayne and Jackson counties.
