SoutheastHEALTH has announced that effective Monday, March 23, elective surgeries at Southeast Hospital will be postponed. We are taking this action under the advisement and recommendations of state and federal reporting entities.

We will continue to accept urgent cases as they come to us. This precautionary measure, while unprecedented for SoutheastHEALTH, is to help us preserve critical personal protective equipment (PPE) while keeping bedside clinicians in our hospital and our community constituents as safe as possible.

Southeast’s current supply level is good. However, the situation evolves daily. If we experience a critical need, we will follow the protocol for reporting to the Southeast Region’s Non-Urban Healthcare Coalition.
