IRON MOUNTAIN Dickinson County Memorial Hospital currently has no COVID-19 patients as vaccination efforts continue and administrators point to a better financial picture than two years ago.
“We haven’t had a (coronavirus) patient for a couple of weeks,” Sue Hadley, director of nursing, said during a hospital board Zoom meeting Thursday. “Hopefully, we continue to see that,” she added.
Dickinson County has reported no deaths from COVID-19 since early January. Iron County, however, has had 12 deaths over that same span, according to Dickinson-Iron District Health Department postings.
Most of Dickinson County’s 67 deaths to date were from mid-October through December.
