Four Minnesota hospitals have agreed to provide ongoing care for any patients diagnosed with Ebola in the state.
The University of Minnesota Medical Center - West Bank Campus in Minneapolis, Unity Hospital in Fridley, the St. Paul campus of Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota and Mayo Clinic's St. Marys Hospital in Rochester will handle infected patients, officials said Friday.
Ebola patients diagnosed at other hospitals would be isolated and then transferred to one of the four designated care centers, said Lawrence Massa, chief executive of the Minnesota Hospital Association. All of the major hospital systems in the state have agreed to support the plan, he added.
....
Massa said Hennepin County Medical Center, Regions Hospital and North Memorial Medical Center are Level 1 trauma centers and they need to be freed up to focus on providing that care.
