A Killeen hospital is experiencing a âstress on inpatient bed availabilityâ as Bell Countyâs COVID-19 cases âsurge,â officials said Thursday.
Kevin Roberts, CEO of AdventHealth-Central Texas, said the number of patients with COVID-19 has gone up, âputting stress on the hospital.â
Hospital officials stopped short of saying there was a shortage of beds at the hospital, and refused to say how many beds were available Thursday. They did say AdventHealth is still able to serve the area for medical reasons.
Roberts said releasing the number of beds available is ânot helpfulâ to the public because the number of available beds is constantly changing.
