2024 Disaster Conference

This session presents lessons learned from the Golden Hills Post Acute Care evacuation of 88 SNF residents and 22 sub-acute patients due to severe storm damage to their building. The session reviews how the facility coordinated with local SNFs, prioritized load leveling, and supported facilities receiving patients with Multi-Drug Resistant Organisms (MDRO’s). Learn how Sharp HealthCare’s Coronado campus, having practiced full facility evacuations, effectively received evacuees, demonstrating exceptional compassion and resourcefulness.
