Twenty-two acute care hospitals in North Carolina have successfully restored power as of Sunday night, following several days of relying on generator power. This update was confirmed by Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kody Kinsley.
Despite the challenges posed by the power outage, the hospitals were able to maintain their critical care services by utilizing generator power, ensuring that patient care was not compromised.
The Department of Health and Human Services has been closely monitoring the situation, maintaining frequent communication with the hospitals to assess their needs. In an effort to support the hospitals, the department has been providing essential supplies such as food, water, and other resources to help them sustain their services.
This coordinated effort between the department and the hospitals has been crucial in ensuring that healthcare services continue uninterrupted, despite the power disruptions. Kinsley emphasized the importance of ongoing support and collaboration to address any further challenges that may arise.
As the hospitals transition back to regular power supply, the Department of Health and Human Services remains committed to assisting them in any way necessary to ensure the well-being of both patients and healthcare staff.
