MMH ANNOUNCES TEMPORARY DIVERSION OF TRAUMA SURGERIES

Effective immediately, Midland Memorial Hospital (MMH) is on temporary diversion of all trauma surgeries. During this diversion period, patients requiring trauma surgery who are transported by ambulance will be taken to alternate facilities. The diversion is necessary due to temporary issues with hospital sterilization equipment.

MMH staff and our vendor partner Steris are actively working to repair the sterilizers, and the situation is being closely monitored. Updates will be provided as additional information is available.

MMH will continue scheduled surgeries at this time unless you have received communication with alternative instructions. In addition, MMH is temporarily closed to out-of-county patient transfers for surgical procedures.

MMH remains committed to ensuring patient safety and high-quality care. We appreciate the community’s understanding as we work to resolve this matter as quickly as possible.
