The University of Mississippi Medical Center’s vacant University Rehabilitation Center in Jackson is being retrofitted into a biocontainment unit that can accommodate two Ebola patients, according to an article on the Hot Toddy website.
UMMC officials said they are renovating space in the vacant stand-alone structure, which is removed from other patient-care facilities on campus.
“The availability of this unit allows us to sequester the care of a patient away from our other patient-care activities and indeed to physically isolate the case from the rest of campus,” said Dr. James E. Keeton, UMMC vice chancellor for health affairs and dean of the School of Medicine.
The renovation will take two weeks, the article said.
