As the number of COVID-19 cases spike, the most pressing issue at Yuma Regional Medical Center isnât space. Itâs staffing. YRMC still has enough beds for patients, but not enough nurses or equipment to staff those beds. Dr. Robert Trenschel, president and CEO of YRMC, on Monday updated the Yuma County Board of Supervisors on the COVID-19 situation at the hospital. In an earlier meeting, Chairman Tony Reyes asked the hospital to provide a report on the trigger point for opening additional space for COVID-19 patients. âWhen it gets down to it, we only have one facility that really can handle this. Maybe we ought to start thinking about what happens if that facility is overwhelmed,â Reyes said, noting that YRMC already gets overwhelmed every year by the regular flu season.
