Highly Trained Intensivists at St. Jude Heritage Medical Group

Our highly trained intensivists are experts in the needs of critically ill patients and continuously manage the treatment and progress of those in the CCU—creating dramatic benefits for both patients and their family. In the past, patients would wait for their primary care physician to visit once each day, either before or after office hours. Because our intensivists are onsite 24/7, they round on patients as often as needed and are available to respond immediately to changes in a patient’s condition.

While our intensivists take the lead when you are in the Critical Care Unit, it is a team effort with your personal physician remaining informed and involved. This partnership offers you the best of both worlds: the expertise of hospital-based doctors whose full-time focus is outstanding patient outcomes and the continuity of care provided by your personal physician.
