Cherokee Nation Suspends Elective Surgeries Due To COVID-19 Surge

Cherokee Nation Suspends Elective Surgeries Due To COVID-19 Surge Cherokee Nation Health Services is suspending all elective surgeries at W.W. Hastings Hospital and reactivating its COVID-19 surge plan. The tribe said the move will increase hospital capacity by about 50%. Cherokee Nation Health Services reports 600 new COVID-19 cases in just the past week in the system, more than 90% of which are among unvaccinated individuals. “The Delta variant accounts for over 80 percent of the tribe’s new COVID cases,” said Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. “Not only is COVID-19 putting added pressures and risks on our hospital, health centers and our amazing health care team tasked with treating COVID patients, but the resurgence once again threatens the overall well-being of the Cherokee Nation and the most vulnerable among us, including our Cherokee elders.
