To help meet the growing needs of Alabama’s children for critical care services, the Special Care Unit (SCU) at Children’s of Alabama recently merged with the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) to move into a 50-bed unit on the 12th Floor of the Benjamin Russell Hospital for Children.
The Quarterbacking Children’s Health Pediatric Intensive Care Unit has a 50-bed capacity.
