AdventHealth Lake Wales is Latest Facility to Partner with Nation's Leading High-Acuity Telemedicine Provider

St. Louis, MO /PRNewswire/ - Advanced ICU Care, the nation's leading provider of high-acuity telemedicine, announced an addition to its longstanding relationship with AdventHealth with the launch of its comprehensive tele-ICU care services at AdventHealth Lake Wales (Lake Wales, FL). The facility joins a number of AdventHealth locations which have implemented Advanced ICU Care's technology-enabled care services, which feature 24 x 7 x 365 intensivist-led patient oversight in support of bedside care teams and their critically ill patients.
