"Counties Across the US Prepare for Upcoming Solar Eclipses"

Local hospitals in Rochester are preparing for the Total Solar Eclipse, expecting an influx of up to 500,000 extra people in the region. Concerns include potential traffic issues affecting healthcare workers' ability to reach hospitals and delays in emergency services. Hospitals are planning early discharges, setting up helicopter landing zones, and coordinating special communication channels with first responders. Healthcare employees are advised to prepare for potential traffic delays and are being put on standby. While routine visits are not discouraged, lower than normal volume is expected due to the timing after spring break.
