As a third, intense coronavirus wave bears down on Michigan, several hospital leaders from around the state said Thursday they have no choice but to postpone some surgical procedures to ensure they have the capacity to care for the crush of sick COVID-19 patients coming through their doors. We are really at a very critical junction, said Bob Riney, COO and president of health care operations for Henry Ford Health System, which is delaying some procedures Thursday and Friday at its Macomb hospital to manage the capacity crisis. After enduring the first two surges and the gains we made to bring down hospitalizations the past couple of months, none of us expected what we are seeing today. This should make all of us extremely concerned not just the health systems and the hospitals, but the people of all communities across Michigan.

Michigan Medicine, the University of Michigan s Ann Arbor-based health system, announced Thursday it is postponing some surgical procedures because of the crush of COVID-19 patients filling its emergency rooms and hospital beds. Similar to many health systems across the state and metro region, Michigan Medicine has experienced record high emergency room and admission volumes for both COVID and non-COVID care this week resulting in extremely high hospital occupancy, Michigan Medicine spokeswoman Mary Masson told the Free Press in statement Thursday afternoon. Due to rising occupancy and forecasts for continued high demand for emergency care and admissions, Michigan Medicine has had to make the difficult decision to reschedule a small number of scheduled surgeries late this week and next week in order to maintain safe occupancy levels.
