Halifax Health offers the only Pediatric Intensive Care Unit in the area, providing services 24 hours a day.

What to Expect in the PICU
Children are often admitted to the PICU because of the intensive care or testing they need. Halifax Health recognizes that the hospital environment can be very intimidating to young patients (and their parents). Such anxiety is normal, but knowing what to expect can do a great deal to ease the fears of the patients and parents. Every child’s experience will differ depending on their needs, but some of them may include:
IVs
Medications
Monitors
Tests
