It is the only regional PICU with board-certified pediatric intensivists physically on site 24 hours a day to provide immediate care to children with life-threatening, complex medical problems, where every second counts. As the first and only certified pediatric trauma center in New Jersey, the PICU at BMSCH is uniquely equipped to handle all aspects of pediatric traumatic injury, including physical, psychological and emotional issues.
