Highly Skilled Care When You Need It Most 

We all go through life hoping never to experience the need for intensive care for our loved ones or for ourselves. While life's critical moments cannot always be predicted or prevented, you can rest assured that you will have access to highly specialized care if and when it is needed most through the Intensivists Program, now available at University Medical Center at Princeton.

Intensivists are physicians with advanced critical care board certification who specialize in treating the most seriously ill or injured patients. Studies have shown that patients whose care is managed by a specially trained intensivist in the ICU recover more quickly and achieve greater clinical outcomes overall.* 

UMCP's Intensivists Program is provided in collaboration with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey--Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, one of the country's leading medical schools. University Medical Center at Princeton is an acute care teaching hospital and University Hospital Affiliate of the medical school.

Extensive, Round-the-Clock Care

The ICU is a specialized unit in the hospital where patients with critical illness or injury receive extensive, round-the-clock care and monitoring. Through the program, the care of each patient in the ICU is carefully and closely managed by a compassionate team of intensivists. This model of care is known as a "closed" ICU because the care of all patients is coordinated by staff intensivists.

UMCP's Intensivists Program is led by Medical Director Andrew A. Martin, MD; Jory J. Goldberg, MD; Michael Nolledo, MD; and Vosudesh K. Pai, MD, all of whom are fellowship trained and multi-board certified in pulmonary disease, critical care medicine and internal medicine. They provide leading-edge ICU care in collaboration with specially trained nurses and physicians in residency and fellowship training at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey--Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.

Intensivists are designated as the primary caregivers in University Medical Center at Princeton's ICU, working with family physicians and internists to coordinate each patient's care. Recognizing the need for open communication during this critical time, each of the intensivists at University Medical Center at Princeton is deeply committed to keeping patients, their loved ones and every member of the clinical team, including personal physicians, involved and informed.
