The capacity of the Louis-Constant Fleming hospital center in Concordia will be increased this week to forty-one beds, just under half of its normal capacity (ninety beds). After Irma's visit, she was no longer seventeen, twenty-seven last week. The establishment was damaged by the passage of Irma: torn roofs, water infiltration, electrical problems, etc.
The surgery wing is closed, as is the pediatric aid. However, specialties are practiced; a reorganization of the services was implemented in the other wings as it had been during the renovation of the surgical wing which had been inaugurated during the summer.
The operating room is operational and outpatient surgery, which consists of an intervention requiring only a few hours of hospitalization, has resumed. "The continuing care room must reopen this week, which will allow us to resume scheduled operations," announced assistant director Christophe Blanchard and doctor Charles Vangeenderhuysen. "The obstetric unit has always worked," said the latter.
External consultations (all specialties) have also been resumed. As for the psychiatric service, it must reopen in November.
Rehabilitation works must be carried out within the establishment. Management plans to reopen the pediatrics wing in early 2018 and the surgery wing in the second quarter of 2018.
