Most of our hospitals are pretty full but we are not closed ever and patients can always come into our emergency department or come in via ambulance, said Stacy Hammett, Baptist Telehealth Advisor.
Hammett said the emergency rooms remains open . You may have to wait a while to be seen and if you need to be admitted, with hospitals nearing capacity you may have to wait to get a room but Hammett says you will get help if you go to the hospital.
Hammett said she don t know where this list came from or when it was created but pointed out closed for admissions is not a term those in the healthcare industry use in an official capacity.
