KMHC COVID Cases Rising But Patients “Doing Well”
Written by Paul Graif on 22 March 2022
There has been an increase in cases of COVID-19 in all three units of the Kateri Memorial Hospital Center (KMHC). It is due to the rapid spread of the Omicron variant. According to hospital officials, all of the patients are said to be “doing very well.”
However, the number of cases is still expected to rise in the coming days.
Visitation remains closed to all, with exceptions made for natural caregivers.
Some staff has been impacted as well. Several Paramedics from the Kahnawake Fire Brigade are working shifts at the KMHC. Some outpatient services will be placed on hold beginning today so that staffing can be prioritized for inpatient care.
