The combination of growing numbers of Covid-19 positive patients and shortages of staff have proven to be a perfect storm for Kansas hospitals. McPherson Hospital is currently dealing with a surge of patients that has the hospital beyond capacity. McPherson’s Emergency Department is seeing an almost overwhelming volume of patients, while the ICU and inpatient medical/surgical units do not have enough available staff to handle any additional patients. “The public needs to be aware that their hospital and its staff are struggling to provide what the community needs right now. Our resources are stretched beyond what they were during the surge last year. This is a serious situation.” said Chris Stipe, President and CEO at McPherson Center for Health.
