ORLANDO, Fla. – AdventHealth officials met on Thursday morning to discuss various topics, including the availability of ICU beds at their hospitals.
President and CEO Daryl Tol explained they are seeing an increase in hospitalizations due to the uptick of cases but said the company has enough capacity and supplies to care for all patients."Almost 20% of our ICU Beds are still available for additional patients and about 16% of total beds.
To put that that in context, that's normal," Tol said.Dr. Scott Brady with AdventHealth said Centra Care centers are testing about 20,000 people a week and it could double up within the next week or two. "There is an increase in testing, but the increase in testing is not the reason we have more cases.
