CMH shuttered all elective procedures and preventative care for a time last spring to re-train staff on new COVID procedures, and to move staff to areas with the most need, with continual learning on how to treat, care for, and observe inpatients, emergency/trauma patients, and outpatient activities. This was a major financial hit, in addition to the impact of all healthcare supply chains being completely disrupted – requiring new avenues for procuring necessary medical supplies, and a massive increase in cost with the new higher demand. New procedures were put into place in every department, telemedicine procedures were put into place to resume preventative or necessary care, and work shifted to care for COVID-positive patients in and out of the hospital – continually educating the public on the quickly-changing pandemic, and building and providing drive-through COVID testing. Over 3,100 COVID tests were given to members of our community, and 70 COVID-positive patients received care in this hospital last year. As any other business, there was a shortage of staff as positive cases and quarantines affected healthcare staff, adding to the increased stress of the actual staffing effects of continuing to deliver care. Finally, as 2020 drew to a close, CMH partnered with the Marshall County Health Department to reach as many people in our community with a preventative vaccine, helping to reach over 60% of the population of Marshall County to date, by creating a sign-up list and process for those who were ready to be vaccinated.
