UPDATE: As of this morning, we are back closer to regular patient levels and patients visiting the Emergency Department, should experience typical wait times. Thank you for your understanding and support.
Dear Community, it is happening again. We currently have every properly staffed bed full at the hospital, with 4 more patients waiting for beds in the Emergency Department and 7 who cannot be discharged, but have nowhere else to go. This means longer wait times in the ED and treating people in our triage area when possible. There is no single driving cause. As of this morning, we had zero flu and only one COVID.
Please know that we are getting much closer to opening our 2nd floor. We don't have a clear timeline, but things are finally recovering from the pandemic job market enough that it is feasible. We know that doesn't solve things in the moment, but we are not ignoring the reality of the needs of our community.
Please be safe, and do your best to stay healthy.
