NewYork-Presbyterian Queens held a ribbon-cutting on Tuesday, March 19, to celebrate the opening of a new Pediatric Intermediate Care Unit (PIMU). The PIMU will provide an increased level of care from the pediatric team, 24 hours a day, to serve acutely ill children and those with illnesses whose condition requires a longer hospital stay. The PIMU is also now the only location in Queens with specialized video electroencephalography technology to observe and track seizures in children with epilepsy and other seizure disorders.
