The Desimone Levee on the Green River failed and is under repair. The hospital is above the flood zone and currently in no danger of flooding. We evacuated our Time Square and Kent Station Clinics and our Lind Avenue locations. Several locations are experiencing staffing issues due to severe traffic impacts. Impacted patients are being contacted to reschedule appointments. Please be safe, do not drive or walk through standing water, and call 9-1-1 if you need emergency evacuation assistance.

Critical Drug Shortage: Iron Sucrose (Venofer)
There is a nationwide, critical drug shortage for iron sucrose (Venofer) and we have nearly exhausted our supply. EPIC alerts will be added to recommend alternative IV iron products, which include Ferrlecit (ferric gluconate), Feraheme (ferumoxytol), and InFed (iron dextran). For patients needing IV iron therapy in our Infusion Center, please utilize alternative agents when obtaining prior authorization and placing orders in therapy or treatment plans.
