On Monday, Sept. 5, NIH deployed the first wave of medical
staff from the NIH Bethesda campus and Duke Medical Center to begin
work in our assigned field
hospital in Key Field at the Air National Guard Base in Meridian,
Mississippi. On September 4, an advance team was sent
to begin set up of the 250-bed hospital and
additional staff will soon deploy to Mississippi to assist. NIH
continues to operate a national coordination and referral center
for specialty medical consultation
and the Clinical Center has made 100 beds available here in Bethesda
for accepting patient transfer should the need arise. |
