We want to reassure you that, while our facility is busy, we continue to be a safe place to give and receive care. We have beds and capacity available to care for our patients. In addition, we have protocols in place to ensure the health and safety of all of our patients, team members and community. Like the rest of the country, we are seeing an increase of admissions to the hospital, which is a combination of “winter volume” and COVID-19 cases.
If needed, we have surge plans ready to go, but we are not there yet. We are prepared to care for our patients and community during these extraordinary times. We are using our tent for ED patients to allow for social distancing and to accommodate our patients. We are excited to start our ED expansion project in Q1 2021, which will more than double our space in the ED.
Our supply chain remains strong and we have no concerns with our PPE supplies at this time.
We remain confident in our ability to serve the community during this time and appreciate your ongoing support.
