Intensive Care
Experience Meets Compassion
Idaho Falls Community Hospital is fully equipped to provide the highest level of care for patients who are critically ill or injured.
We understand treating our patients requires more than cutting edge technology and a well-trained team. It takes compassion. Our team always goes beyond our patients’ medical records, so we can get to know them as individuals and develop a deeper understanding of all their needs. We are fully invested in helping each patient entrusted to our care get better.
The patients we see in the intensive care unit are often the most critically ill or injured in our hospital. We have the tools, resources and specialists to help them throughout their recovery. Patients in the ICU have access to multiple forms of respiratory care, continuous dialysis, non-invasive and invasive hemodynamic monitoring (which gives us important information on our patients’ heart functions), medication management, social workers, physical therapists, nutritionists, pharmacists and a highly trained medical team.

Care for the Entire Family
When we have a patient in the ICU, we know we are not just caring for them. We are caring for their entire family. It can be a scary time when a loved one is sick and in the ICU. Part of our job is to make this difficult time a little bit easier to manage.
We are always here to answer your questions and make sure you understand every part of the treatment process. Just remember, no question is ever too silly to ask and no request is ever too small to make. We will always do our best to accommodate the needs of your loved one and you.
If you currently have a family member in the ICU and you need to speak with our team, please give us a call at 208.528.1750.

Visiting Patients in the ICU
Our top priority is always our patients' well-being. We’ve found having loved ones nearby is a very important part of the recovery process, which is why we encourage family involvement. However, there are occasionally times when we may need to limit visitors, so our patients can get rest or have a procedure done.
Our daily visiting hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Visitors in the ICU are allowed two visitors at a time.
Currently, we are not allowing visitors for patients who are hospitalized for COVID-19. However, in these situations, our team will do all we can to help you stay connected by facilitating FaceTime calls or other types of communication.
We also understand there are special circumstances that will require us to make exceptions to our visitor policy.
