The hospital lost heat after a boiler exploded late Monday night at Veolia Energy plant, which provides steam for the hospital and around 130 buildings in the city’s downtown area.

The hospital limited its number of scheduled surgeries for Wednesday, with plans to resume a full surgical schedule Thursday, according to WOOD-TV.
