POCATELLO As COVID restrictions are loosening up around the state, some regional hospitals have seen an uptick in challenges over their safety protocols.
One such hospital is Portneuf Medical Center (PMC), which, according to spokeswoman Mary Keating, has had patients and visitors argue with National Guardsman handling screening since the Pocatello City Council lifted the city-wide mask mandate on April 26.
“There’s definitely been enough questions that it is time to remind the community that we still are focused on providing the highest level of care in the safest way we can. And that is still adhering to CDC guidelines,” Keating told EastIdahoNews.com.
