Piedmont Fayette Hospital has received generous support from individuals, businesses and organizations throughout the pandemic. Southside Church, like many groups, often told hospital leadership to let them know if there was anything the hospital needed while continuing to care for the community.
Recently, the hospital took Southside Church up on their offer and asked for baby monitors. The hospital did not have an influx of new babies, but would instead use the monitors to see into the rooms of patients on isolation precautions, including patients who have Covid-19.
