At EvergreenHealth Monroe, staff moved quickly following an outbreak at another Evergreen facility in Kirkland to create negative pressure rooms at the 31-bed hospital. They had two, now have six, including the hospital’s four-bed ICU, and in the next week will have the fans and special air filters to add four more. Much of Evergreen’s staff is being cross-trained to take on additional duties, Dr. Midori Larrabee, the Monroe hospital’s chief medical and quality officer said.
