Two Salt Lake City hospitals 'busier than ever'

On Tuesday, workers at St. Mark's Hospital in Holladay took to Facebook to share some good news; it was the first day in over 431 days that the hospital didn't have a newly admitted COVID-19 patient. But despite declining hospitalizations and case rates across the state, both University of Utah Hospital and the Intermountain Medical Center report being busier than ever. "We are all very relieved that the worst seems to be behind us," said Dr. Russell Vinik, chief medical operations officer for University of Utah Healthcare. "We're also very cautious." Vinik says although they are seeing a continued drop new cases and hospitalizations compared to a few months ago, things are not easy at the University of Utah Hospital. "There is a higher incidence of stress and depression nationally among healthcare workers now then there was during height of the pandemic," he added. "A lot of people who delayed care during covid are now getting care. So, we are as busy or busier than we ever were. Fortunately, it's not COVID."
