KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. Sky Lakes Medical Center will temporarily cancel all elective surgeries that require an overnight stay in an effort to relieve the pressure on hospital staff spread thin by coronavirus.
This change will particularly help ease the impacts on nursing staff who care for COVID-19 patients, according to Annette Cole, RN and Chief Nursing Officer at Sky Lakes. Cole said that nurses who take care of patients in surgical-care units would be available when surgeries are canceled.
