Each year, over 100,000 Canadians receive life-saving care in intensive care units, relying on the support and care of intensive care teams. This Canadian Intensive Care Week (October 20-26), we would like to celebrate and thank intensive care professionals nationwide, including the amazing ICU team at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, for everything they do to help patients and families in their most critical moments.

We recognize the exceptional work undertaken by the multidisciplinary team in our ICU, which includes physicians, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, critical care nurses, dieticians, physiotherapists and social workers. They work together to help patients recover from serious injury or illness. They see patients at a time when they are most vulnerable and provide essential care and life support with compassion and professionalism. Join us in thanking these health care professionals for everything they do!
