So far no cases have been treated here, but should there be a large outbreak where there are more patients than the hospital has room for, dr. Winston says they have done what she describes as emergency search planning for Disaster Response and there will be coordination with local and state public officials. Our plan to use bases in the hospital in different ways than we normally would.
