MCMC Able To Take All Patients

Mid-Columbia Medical Center CEO Dennis Knox says they have been able to take in all patients to the hospital during the current COVID-19 Omicron surge, but they have been close a number of times to not being able to do so.  Knox says they have hovered around capacity, but they’ve been able to take all patients to date.  One of the problems they have had is finding places to send patients in need of a higher level of care due to a lack of available beds in the Portland metro area.  Knox estimated about three-quarters of the COVID-19 positive patients at MCMC at any given time are unvaccinated.
