Dayton (Wash.) General Hospital is pulling together resources and implementing a plan to respond to the outbreak of COVID-19, according to an article on the Becker’s CFO Report website.
The hospital doesn't have ventilators and is low on protective gear.
Dayton General normally keeps enough supplies and cash on hand to operate for roughly 14 days.
Due to shortages of certain supplies across the nation, Dayton General is rationing supplies, such as gloves and surgical masks. Unable to get any needed supplies from vendors, the hospital leaders have called the governor to request 3,500 masks, the article said.
