Being Prepared
Laurel Regional Hospital to Reopen
The shutdown Laurel Hospital is being reopened.
Sources say a contractor has been given 3 weeks to get it ready to accept patients, according to WJLA.
After being downsized to a walk-in clinic in 2019, Laurel Regional Hospital, will provide 135 beds to start but is likely to increase that capacity. The move is in expectation of an influx of coronavirus patients.
Maryland Governor Larry Hogan mentioned the move in his March 25 press conference. https://youtu.be/_8w4cOyuGgA
