Oregon company provides mobile field hospitals and surge capacity facilities to southern California hospitals as COVID-19 numbers soar
ORANGE COUNTY / JANUARY 11, 2021 – As Los Angeles hospitals continue to get hammered by the coronavirus pandemic, mobile field hospitals have been deployed outside many facilities to serve as emergency rooms, triage centers, and even ICU overflow departments. Over the last week, COVID-19 related deaths have averaged more than 200 per day among Los Angeles residents with the impact from holiday travels yet to be seen.
At the University of California Irvine Medical Center, volunteers and a team from Deployed Logix (DLX) set up the largest mobile field hospital in the region just before the Christmas holiday. These portable field hospitals and mobile medical tents are already housing patients and are anticipated to remain up through the spring, but potentially longer. This facility features multiple wings for patient care, nurses stations, full bathrooms including sinks, toilets, and field showers, a triage center, and separate entrances for staff and patients. Orange County Health Authority sourced 48 modular, interoperable shelters and other equipment from DLX to divide among the most overwhelmed medical facilities in the county. These mobile medical tents and shelters for hospital surge are designed to be quick and easy to demobilize and relocate if the need arises.
DLX was founded in 2012 and continues to be the leader in American-made, rapidly deployable disaster preparedness products around the world. Its flagship shelter, the ASAP®, sets up in 60 seconds with just two people.
