How Southeast Hospitals Stood Strong During Hurricane Helene.

Hurricane Helene caused many problems for hospitals and health care in the Southeast. Even though most hospitals stayed open, they had to deal with power outages, damage from the storm, and problems getting supplies.

Many hospitals had to use backup power and some people couldn't get the medical help they needed. Sadly, some health care workers are still missing and some mental health care buildings were destroyed.

It will take a long time for things to get back to normal, but people are working hard to find missing staff and help those in need. One of the biggest challenges is that communication was difficult because cellphones and roads were out of service.

Many community health centers were also affected, making it hard for people to get important health care. Hospitals are offering help by providing food, water, and other essential supplies.

Despite the challenges, hospitals in Florida were well-prepared because they have a lot of experience with hurricanes. Overall, hospitals and health care workers showed great strength and resilience during this difficult time.
