In response to the winter storm, MU healthcare system officials activated the system’s command center to mobilize staff at 11:45 a.m. this morning.
Despite the cold temperatures and dangerous driving conditions, the system hasn’t seen a significant swing in, inpatient admissions, according to spokesperson Mary Jenkins.
“As of right now, we haven’t seen a big influx of more patients than we normally see,” Jenkins said. “Everything is running pretty efficiently.”
The system’s outpatient clinics closed today around 2 p.m. and the urgent care clinic closed at 3 p.m. Jenkins says the emergency rooms at University Hospital and Women and Children’s Hospital remain open.
