Summit County Health Department Memorandum
SUMMIT COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM DATE: December 3, 2020 TO: Summit County Council FROM: Rich Bullough RE: Hospital surge planning related to COVID-19 The purpose of this work session is to inform the Summit County Council and the public about system-wide, coordinated efforts to assure high levels of clinical care during possible surges in COVID-19 cases in Utah. Dr. Wing Province, Medical Director Park City Hospital, and Kevin McCulley, State of Utah Unified Command COVID-19 ICS and Preparedness and Response Director, will describe surge planning from clinical and preparedness perspectives. From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, a primary goal of mitigating disease transmission has been to avoid overwhelming the hospital system, especially ICU resources. This goal has not been limited to physical resources, but has also focused on human resources, especially clinical providers and support staff. As anticipated, new cases of COVID-19 have surged across the nation, in Utah, and in Summit County as we have approached the winter and holiday seasons. Dr. Province and Mr. McCulley will discuss system-wide plans and preparations to address the current surge and potential new surges prior to widely available COVID-19 vaccines.
