(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. first picture shows a massive, empty convention center room with a Maryland Flag and a few people wearing military and other uniforms standing socially distant. The second photo is the same room, with hundreds of partitioned rooms, hospital beds, intake centers with nursing staff, and the American and Maryland flags side by side. (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. Image shows the inside of a truck in a loading dock with four large boxes filling the width of the truck perfectly.
