Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston is building a special isolation unit dedicated to treating children with Ebola, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has learned.
Hospital spokeswoman Patty Gregory confirmed the construction of the unit Wednesday, though she stressed that the children’s hospital does not have any patient with the Ebola virus.
Children’s Healthcare has three hospitals — Egleston, Hughes Spalding and Scottish Rite — and more than 20 neighborhood locations in metro Atlanta. Egleston is located at 1405 Clifton Road in northeast Atlanta, across the street from Emory University Hospital.
“We are creating an isolated Special Care Unit where we would provide care to children with possible or confirmed Ebola virus infections,” said the section of the Children’s Healthcare website titled “Ebola: Children’s is Prepared.”
The site added, “This unit will provide care to a child who needs special isolation and is run by specially trained staff.”

These special units are now being built all over the country...the only difference is most of this is happening in the dark and quiet.
ReplyDeleteSo, now we have children here with active Ebola, and there's NOTHING in the news.
ReplyDeleteHow's that OBAMA thing working for you now?
Now, during flu season, where we have a vaccine that is useless, we encounter sneezing people who may be spreading Ebola?
OH COME ON.... you know that the stupid little people cannot understand the governments need for secret policies and that they MUST protect us from mass hysteria by any means. Can you imagine what would happen if people really knew the truth???? Horrid.
