Hospital Unit Shifts Gears to Care for COVID-19 Patients.
FORT BELVOIR, VA. (April 22, 2020)-- Team members of the Belvoir Hospital's 7 Medical/Telemetry Unit prepare for the start of a new day April 22, 2020. The unit recently converted many of its daily operations to care for admissions and care of patients admitted for COVID-19 infections. To date, largely due to the flexibility and diligence of the staff, zero staff infections on the ward have been reported since the onset of the pandemic. The Belvoir Hospital is a 120-bed, 1.3 million-square-foot military community hospital that serves a regional population of 250,000 personnel with about 100,000 enrollees receiving inpatient and specialty care services supported by 55 specialty clinics, a Warrior Pavilion (for combat injured/wounded/ ill), Inpatient Addictions Program, and three satellite family health centers at the Pentagon, Dumfries and Fairfax, Va.
