DHMC Devotes Unit to COVID-19 Care

Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire is devoting a whole unit to battling the COVID-19 pandemic, reports Sentinel Source.

The unit was previously the neurocritical care unit on the hospital’s third floor of its inpatient tower. According to DH CEO Joanne Conroy, the unit typically sees an average of 10-30 COVID-19 patients or possible patients, with patients who are not considered to require intensive care moved to the second floor of the building.

The hospital is expecting peak patients to be around 76, but does not expect this until the summer or fall of this year.
