TMH CEO Concerned Over ICU Bed Availability; Urges Vaccines

For Kim Bourne, CEO and President of Taylorville Memorial Hospital, COVID-19 is still an important topic, even if she knows people are tired of hearing about it. Bourne says that even in Central Illinois, there are more people getting sick with COVID and they are getting sick quicker.

 

 

Overall, Bourne says that they are seeing all ages coming in with COVID, but predominately, it has been younger unvaccinated people coming in. 

 

 

Bourne has observed that people coming in are getting sicker quicker and their condition can change very quick.

 

 

Kim Bourne says that she has noticed that ICU beds are down across the state which means that people who may not even have COVID, are having trouble finding beds.

 

 

Kim Bourne appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show.
