While many hospitals across the country are struggling to deal with another surge of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic particularly rural hospitals, where beds and staff are limited and space for transfers is limited Carroll Countys two largest healthcare facilities are weathering the storm without any major problems and are rapidly completing the process of vaccinating their staff against the novel coronavirus.
At Mercy Hospital Hospital in Berryville, a 25-bed critical access facility, the number of patients both COVID-related and non-COVID has remained manageable and most of the approximately 125-member hospital staff has already received at least the first dose of the vaccine. Many began receiving the second dose last week.
