Topeka’s St. Francis critical care capacity at 111%

St. Francis Campus hospital’s critical care capacity is at 111%, and Stormont Vail is considering sending patients to other hospitals. “This is a very fluid situation and can change minute by minute,” said CEO of Stormont Vail Robert Kenagy in a Monday email. “We may come off of this status throughout the day, but then may return to it as patient acuity changes and our staffing changes.” In the email, Stormont Vail is asking anyone qualified to apply so the hospital can address its staffing needs. Kenagy said the 103 COVID-19 patients is stretching staff thin.
