Several Michigan hospitals postpone surgical procedures because of COVID-19 surge

Credit Katherine Raymond / Michigan Radio As a third, intense coronavirus wave bears down on Michigan, several hospital leaders from around the state said Thursday they have no choice but to postpone some surgical procedures to ensure they have the capacity to care for the crush of sick COVID-19 patients coming through their doors. We are really at a very critical junction, said Bob Riney, COO and president of health care operations for Henry Ford Health System, which is delaying some procedures Thursday and Friday at its Macomb hospital to manage the capacity crisis. After enduring the first two surges and the gains we made to bring down hospitalizations the past couple of months, none of us expected what we are seeing today. This should make all of us extremely concerned not just the health systems and the hospitals, but the people of all communities across Michigan.
