(1/11) WE LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER - From load-in to completion, see in this thread how we stood up an Alternate Care Center to support hospital surge at the @CityofBaltimore Convention Center, one of several opening in Region 3. 
(2/11) To support @StateMaryland @CityofBaltimore hospitals & health care system as part of Maryland's hospital surge plan, @FEMAregion3 worked with @MDMEMA @MDNG @USACEBaltimore @MDHealth @JohnsHopkins & others to stand up an Alternate Care Site at Baltimore Convention Center.
(3/11) We brought a Federal Medical Station to #Baltimore - A rapidly deployable cache of beds and supplies, which transforms a building into a temporary medical shelter housing less acute #COVID19 patients, freeing up hospital beds for more serious cases.
(4/11) With the direction of the @GovLarryHogan, leased by the @MarylandGov, through @GSA and put together by the @MDNG, we all worked around the clock to make sure this site would be ready in time for #COVID19 surge.
(5/11) The site will treat COVID-19 patients who were treated in a hospital, and are convalescent - recovering from their infection, but still need direct medical attention & cannot be cared for at home. Patients will be transitioned to their homes when care is completed.
(6/11) Baltimore's field hospital will not serve as a location for direct patient admissions. Patients will be transported through emergency department or inter-facility referrals.
(7/11) The expected length of stay for patients is 5 to 7 days. No patient visitors will be permitted on site due to infection concerns.
(8/11) Medical staff from @HopkinsMedicine prepare to come aboard as the conversion of the Baltimore Convention Center into a 250-bed alternate care facility is almost complete.
(9/11) Incoming @JHUNursing nursing staff learn how to shield themselves from the virus by properly donning and #doffing personal protective equipment (PPE).
(10/11) The Convention Center Field Hospital will be staffed by more than 1,000 medical professionals and health care workers to assist with the surge of short-term COVID-19 patients that have less acute medical needs
