One year ago today, we moved patients into our new Patient Tower. At the time it opened, we had no idea the tower’s expanded patient capacity and all-private rooms would help us meet a critical need by allowing us to isolate and treat COVID-19 patients, nearly 300 of whom have been discharged. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve our community and look forward to continuing to do so for years to come.
