Miriam's critical care unit gets new director

Miriam Hospital's critical care unit has a new director.

Paul L. Marino has been named director of that unit, and will be responsible for overseeing patient care in the intensive care unit, including medical and surgical patients.

The Boston native is best known to the medical community for “The ICU Book,” the top-selling critical-care textbook in the country, according to a statement from Miriam.

Before coming to Miriam, in Providence, Marino was medical director, chairman of the department of medicine, and critical care director at Saint Vincent’s Midtown Hospital in New York City.

“Dr. Marino’s reputation in the medical community precedes himself,” Miriam President Kathleen C. Hittner said in a statement. “We are thrilled to have someone with his expertise managing the care of some of our most fragile patients.”
