Critical Care

The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the Allen Hospital is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for critically ill patients from the surrounding community, as well as post-operative patients requiring specialized ICU support. Our ICU physician team comprises faculty from the Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, alongside critical care fellows and residents from the NewYork-Presbyterian (NYP)-Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC). We are further supported by a committed team of interdisciplinary professionals, including NYP-nursing, pharmacy, physician assistants, respiratory therapy, physical and occupational therapy, speech language pathology, nutrition, social work, and spiritual care services.

About the Allen ICU

The Allen ICU is a 12-bed ICU that serves critically ill patients with medical, cardiac, and surgical illnesses. The critical care provider team consists of critical care-trained attendings, fellows, hospitalists, medical residents, critical care PAs, and medical students.

We are proud to be a teaching unit, deeply committed to advancing medical education through hands-on training, bedside teaching, and interdisciplinary learning. Subspecialty consultations are seamlessly integrated into patient care and are provided by expert faculty from Columbia University Irving Medical Center.

For patients requiring advanced cardiac or surgical interventions, we ensure continuity of care through coordinated transfers to NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center at the Milstein Hospital, our quaternary care hub located at the 168th Street campus.
