Reply to comment by wagonboss in Pediatric hospital beds in Richmond are nearly full, thanks to surge of RSV by CrassostreaVirginica

I have a hard time hating on that if they were short beds elsewhere given the St Marys pediatric service is significantly better and 5 min up the road. Sadly all healthcare companies are working off the bottom line but I think it's reasonable to have staff and space for where there is need.

It was partially because of the networks dedication to Chippenham. Which HDH far exceeds in performance.

I will say, Pediatrics is about all St Mary’s is good for anymore. Especially in the emergency setting. But having more beds, especially with a growing area and now defined need has no negatives.
