DERMATOLOGY CHANGES

The overall inpatient census fell over mid-winter break but is expected to rise to high levels again. We continue to see very high numbers of patients needing mental and behavioral health care. The numbers of patients with RSV continues to be low. We have not seen any significant influenza activity.
