Hendrick Medical Center: Military Personnel Are a Godsend
ABILENE, TX – Last week Hendrick Medical Center in Abilene welcomed 40 military medical personnel that came to provide aid to hospital staff.
Abilene hospitals have dealt with a constant influx of patients who are suffering from COVID-19 and have to be hospitalized.
According to Hendrick Health Assistant CNO, Heather Ray, the hospital staff needed help.
“Nearly half of the patients that go to the ICU, don't survive. And that's very difficult and taxing on a nurse, especially our young nurses, " said Ray. "The support of the DOD is a godsend to our staff. They are tired.”
