Submitted by Cherokee Nation Dec 23, 2020 TAHLEQUAH — This week Cherokee Nation Health Services activated its COVID-19 surge plan for W.W. Hastings Hospital.  The surge plan for Health Services involved purchasing and allocating resources for the ability to provide care during the pandemic in the event that the health system exceeded the limits of their normal infrastructure. As the number of COVID-19 cases have increased over 8,200 since March the health system has experienced an overwhelming number of hospitalized patients in the Intensive Care Unit.  “Back in March, our team started working on a surge plan in the event that we started reaching our hospital bed capacity,” Executive Director Dr. R. Stephen Jones said. “Recently, we’ve had challenges when transferring patients to other facilities due to their own capacity limitations. When we are full and when our partner facilities are full, we have to act to continue caring for our patients.
