Eureka Springs Hospital Commission chairman Dr. John House is stepping down from the commission.
House announced last week that he will be leaving the hospital commission at the end of December. In an email, House writes that officers serve for two years, so someone will be replacing him as chairman in January.
Ive made the very difficult decision to leave the hospital commission at the end of the month, House writes. I realize there are still 18 months left in my term, but with all the extra demands placed on healthcare workers due to the pandemic, I feel that Im unable to give the commission the time and attention it needs at this important moment in history.
Hospitals in Berryville and Eureka Springs received their first shipments of COVID-19 vaccine on Friday, Dec. 18, and began vaccinating employees that afternoon.
Mercy Hospital in Berryville planned to begin vaccinating employees at about 1 p.m. Friday, senior media relations specialist Jennifer Cook said by email Wednesday, Dec. 16.
It will likely take a couple of days to exhaust the supply in the first shipment, so vaccinations will continue Monday, Cook said. We followed state guidelines for prioritizing recipients, and those working directly with COVID patients and high-risk co-workers are first.
Cody Qualls, executive director of development, corporate and community relations for Mercy Berryville, said 54 hospital employees had been vaccinated by Monday morning.
