Avera eICU® CARE
Avera Health believes the absolute best ICU technology should be available to hospital patients throughout the region. This new eICU brings the latest in telemedicine and ICU care to Avera St. Benedict Health Center by connecting critical care experts to our patients in the ICU.
The Avera eICU Care is a high-tech system monitoring ICU patients around-the-clock, providing an unprecedented level of information for ICU specialists. It assures that patients receive an extra level of care in addition to the outstanding critical care team at the hospital bedside.
