Given the recent decline in COVID-19 hospitalizations, Bozeman Health Deaconess Hospital has paused plans to build 20 temporary beds.
The Montana Department of Military Affairs and Disaster and Emergency Services and Gov. Steve Bullockâs COVID-19 task force decided this week to place the installation of the critical and acute care beds on hold.
The decision will be reevaluated weekly. If hospitalizations climb, the hospital could construct the beds on the vacant third floor of the new patient care tower, which was built to accommodate future expansion.
âOur Bozeman Health surge plan continues to be reviewed on a regular basis ⦠and weâre confident in our ability and our bed capacity to continue providing expert, quality care to every patient and to our community,â said spokesperson Lauren Brendel.
