Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio said Tuesday it’s suspending elective surgeries as worsening conditions trigger restrictions for civilian medical facilities under orders issued by Gov. Greg Abbott.
BAMC said it would temporarily delay some elective surgeries, particularly those requiring an overnight stay.
“These are non-life-threatening surgeries,” BAMC spokesman Bob Whetstone said. “If somebody has to have a bypass, that’s going to happen.”

“We are committed to supporting the whole-of-America response to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Lt. Gen. Laura J. Richardson, ARNORTH and JFLCC commander. “Our military medical personnel provided strong support to the state of California during the summer and I know they will bring much needed relief to their civilian healthcare partners now.”
