Wenatchee, Wash.-based Confluence Health said an “unforeseen staffing issue” led to the decision. In a Dec. 23 news release, the organization said between Dec. 27 and Jan. 2 at 7 a.m. Pacific time, it will either treat cardiac patients on-site or stabilize and transfer them.
Confluence emphasized that its emergency rooms remain fully staffed. A spokesperson told Becker’s that this diversion affects Confluence Health Hospital Central Campus in Wenatchee.
