Mission Health hospitals have remained open with the help of hundreds of additional workers and supplies brought in from across the country.
Mission spokesperson Nancy Lindell says Mission Hospital – like the rest of Asheville – still does not have pressurized water. The hospital has brought in bottle water and water tank trucks.
“We’re doing the best we can with all of those items but we need pressurized water. I can’t speak to the timeline on that. That would be the city of Asheville,” Lindell said.
HCA Healthcare, the for-profit health system that owns Mission Health, has also sent additional supplies for staff, Lindell said.
Mission Health System has set up a website to share facility updates, community resources and the status of each hospital and office in the system. Here is the website.
The emergency rooms at all six regional hospitals are open, according to the website.
The Mission Hospital Cancer Center and Hope Women’s Cancer Center are currently closed. If you have an upcoming appointment or need care at any Mission Health clinic, please call (855) 815-3783 to check clinic status.
