The Sutter Health team continues to treat patients and perform surgeries at St. Nicholas Hospital in St. Marc – working an average of 20 hours a day.
Above Stephen Lockhart M.D., anesthesiologist and chief medical officer for Sutter Health’s East Bay Region, stands by the list of patients awaiting surgery. At 4:30 p.m. (Haiti time) there are 17 patients who still need treatment today.
We learned today that the hospital is two hours west of the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince and has been flooded with patients seeking refuge. Before the earthquake, the hospital had 150 beds. After the quake, the number of patients seeking care surged to 300.
