FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) With ICU beds stretched thin because of the COVID-19 surge, Valley Children s Hospital is hoping to get help in preparing for adult patients.
In a statement, the hospital s vice president of medical affairs said, Given the current widespread transmission of COVID-19 and the stress on adult facilities throughout the State and our region, our current surge planning accepts patients ages 25 and younger.
This comes as state officials imposed a health order requiring hospitals with space to take in transfer patients from regions with little to no bed space.
