Flower About Our Units and Clinic Space
The Cardiovascular Program at Children's Hospital Boston consists of several areas of the hospital's main campus in Boston. Each of our areas has been created to help make patients and their families more comfortable during their visit or stay at Children's.
The Inpatient Unit: 8 East
  • Located on the eighth floor of the Main Building
  • 8 East is our 28-bed unit where children stay if they need to be in the hospital overnight, such as when they are admitted for an inpatient cardiac catheterization. Patients may also be transferred here from after they are discharged from the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. Read more about 8 East.
The Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU): 8 South
  • Located on the eight south of the main building
  • After cardiac surgery, patients receive care on 8 South, which is our 23-bed cardiac ICU. Children who may require intensive treatment but not surgery, are also cared for on 6 South. Read more about our CICU
The Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory: 6 South
  • Located on the sixth floor of the Main Building
  • Our Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory consists of four technology intensive suites and a ten-bed recovery room. Catheterization procedures can be inpatient or outpatient. Read more about the Cath Lab
