PRESS RELEASE
July 19, 2014 1145
At this time, the Emergency Department at Three Rivers Hospital remains open. We will continue to treat patients in the Emergency Department until we have been given further evacuation instructions from law enforcement. Due to our current Level 1 Evacuation Status, the hospital is unable to admit patients to our inpatient unit. Our outpatient services, such as lab and radiology, are restricted to emergency needs only. When we are given clearance and our Evacuation Level is eliminated, we will return to providing full service lines at the hospital.
Given the unpredictability of the weather, we are not able to determine precisely when we will be able to resume regular operations. We continue to request non-essential employees to remain on standby. Staffing updates have been distributed to employees through email. As always, our top priority at Three Rivers Hospital is the safety and well being of our patients and our staff. We will continue to take necessary measures that will allow us to provide service to our communities in the safest and most effective way possible.
To help ensure consistent and up-to-date information, please direct media inquires to the Chief Executive Officer.
