  • GENERAL UPDATES FOR THE PUBLIC:
    • Sneeze guards: We are considering several different options for a “sneeze guard” to protect both patients and staff at our registration areas and other patient-facing departments. More information will be provided once we make a selection.
    • MHP physician practices: Our soft re-opening resumed to about 60% of our normal volumes in the outpatient physician practices this week. Our new processes are in place and performing well.
    • Surgery: We performed 15 elective surgeries yesterday and everything went very well with no issues or concerns. We are expecting to perform 9 elective cases today.
  • SUPPLY UPDATES:
    • We need your empty hand sanitizer bottles. We are making our own hand sanitizer and need your empty containers in order to reuse.
    • 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. We are extremely grateful for all the community support and selfless gestures. If you would like to find out more information, please contact Angela Gill (agill@majorhospital.org).
