The Desimone Levee on the Green River failed and is under repair. The hospital is above the flood zone and currently in no danger of flooding. We evacuated our Time Square and Kent Station Clinics and our Lind Avenue locations. Several locations are experiencing staffing issues due to severe traffic impacts. Impacted patients are being contacted to reschedule appointments. Please be safe, do not drive or walk through standing water, and call 9-1-1 if you need emergency evacuation assistance.

New Pediatric Code Bag
On April 8, all departments that take care of pediatric patients and use the BROSELOW code cart will switch to a pediatric code bag. This allows us to bring only one code cart when responding to pediatric emergencies as the bag will already be on the cart. Color-coded, weight-based, emergency resuscitation equipment and medication dosing will still be used and will be stored in this bag. In each color-coded compartment of the pediatric code bag you will find an oxygen delivery kit, a respiratory support kit and one or two laryngoscopes.
If you take care of pediatric patients on your unit, please look for an education/training plan that will allow you to become familiar with the new code bag and practice using it.
