More Vaccine Testimonials
Currently we are still in phase 1a of the Alabama Department of Public Health COVID-19 vaccination plan, which includes frontline health workers (inpatient and outpatient) and some first responders. Following is another brief video from ÐÂÔÂÖ±²¥ employees who agreed to share their thoughts on why they chose to receive the vaccine.
Testing and Confirmed Cases
To protect patient privacy, ÐÂÔÂÖ±²¥ has established a minimum threshold of five for reporting numbers of inpatients with laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19.

- 179 inpatients within the ÐÂÔÂÖ±²¥ system who are positive for COVID-19.
- 39 inpatients who are positive for COVID-19 are being treated in the ICU.
- 15 who are positive for COVID-19 are on ventilators.
- 22 who are positive for COVID-19 are on a BiPAP.
- We are conducting some maintenance to the feed for unique positive and negative tests for COVID-19 so that chart and those numbers are not included today.
- 7,006 (cumulative) unique positives for COVID-19 tests including results from the ED, triage tent and inpatient. These individuals are not necessarily in the hospital.
