“Special thanks to all BHB staff who have worked tirelessly through the storm at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital, Mid-Atlantic Wellness Institute, group homes and the Lamb Foggo Urgent Care Center to ensure care continued. It takes hundreds of clinical, support and administrative staff in multiple facilities to implement organizational hurricane plans and ensure all events during the storm are managed so that people in need of care and support receive it without interruption.
