County officials are racing against the clock to restore the gutted trauma care services by April 1, the day the sale closes, followed by heart attack and stroke care at yet to be determined dates.
We've also publicly committed to restoring labor and delivery services that were cut in 2020... But right now there's a lot of work to do between now and April to take over the operations.
Restoring Regional's downgraded level 3 trauma center to a level 2 will require new licensure approvals from the state - and that can take time.
The county expects to fill some staffing gaps with existing employees at the county's other hospitals, as well as contract workers.
