UMMC Deploys Mobile Field Hospital for COVID-19 Patients
JACKSON, Miss. — The University of Mississippi Medical Center is deploying a mobile field hospital for COVID-19 patient care.
Leaders are concerned about people who need to be seen by a provider, but aren’t sick enough to go to the emergency room or be hospitalized.
To provide increased capacity, a mobile field hospital is opening in one of the medical center’s parking garages.
UMMC is preparing for an influx of COVID-19 patients over the next three weeks.
They’re taking additional steps to protect emergency department staff and patients from possible exposure.
