"Over Capacity: Strong Memorial Hospital's Emergency Department Struggles"

Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, N.Y. is currently over capacity with nearly 1,100 patients, 200 more than its licensed bed capacity, due to a shortage of nursing home beds. The hospital is working with government officials and nursing home partners to find solutions to the staffing crisis. Hospital leaders are urging the community to take proper precautions to prevent an increase in cases of flu, COVID, and RSV, and are encouraging non-critically ill individuals to use their Get Care Now website for on-demand video visits to alleviate the strain on the emergency department.
