If patients require ICU care, 49-bed Martin General is coordinating for transfers with ECU Health Medical Center in Greenville, N.C., which is about 30 miles away. Martin General’s medical-surgical and emergency departments remain open.

“Like many rural hospitals across the nation, our hospital has struggled to recruit nurses despite ongoing efforts,” John Jacobson, Martin General Hospital CEO, said. “The critical shortage levels are even more challenging in rural areas.”
