Responding to the Covid-19 Crisis
Doctors Hospital at Renaissance stepped up when the community needed their help during several Covid-19 surges
“The effects of hospital consolidation on patients are very real. Given the pandemic-induced hospital bed shortage, one physician-owned community hospital near the Texas border, Doctors Hospital Renaissance, rapidly stood up dedicated Covid-19 units, eventually converting its rehabilitation hospital into a dedicated Covid-19 hospital with more than 100 beds in under 10 days. Such is the product of physician-driven innovation — out of necessity — in care delivery.”
