Daily COVID-19 hospitalizations are below 100 most days. Meanwhile, an uptick in behavioral health patients and patients who became sicker while delaying care during the pandemic are driving admissions upward, healthcare officials told the newspaper.
Additionally, staffing challenges remain center stage. Parkland Medical Center in Derry, N.H., operated by Nashville, Tenn.-based HCA Healthcare, recently hit 95 percent capacity.
