  • UPDATES FROM INCIDENT COMMAND:
    • Remdesivir: We gave our first patient Remdesivir over the weekend. We are monitoring the patient closely for improvement and/or any side effects.
    • Incident Command: The staff and physicians at MHP, the entire community and our state and local officials have done an amazing job managing and containing Covid-19 in Shelby County so far. As a result, we are decreasing the frequency of our Incident Command meetings and the daily updates. We will now convene on Mondays and Thursdays and will remain prepared to increase the frequency if we have a surge of patients or new developments require it.

    • Do you have items that you would like to donate? (hand sanitizer, masks, respirators, gloves, N95, bouffant caps, or gowns). If so, please contact Angela Gill (agill@majorhospital.org)
    • Food Donations: Several community supporters have called to offer to donate food for our staff and physicians. Some are also doing it as a way to support those restaurants who are struggling to stay afloat while they are only open for carryout.
