Pinedale Clinic gets COVID Isolation Unit
by Sublette County Rural Health Care District
January 13, 2021
Even with local COVID case numbers decreasing and surrounding hospital beds opening up, the Sublette County Rural Health Care District (SCRHCD) is prepared for a spike in cases.
On Wednesday, January 13th, 2021 the Pinedale-based company, Enviremedial Services, Inc. delivered their second COVID isolation unit to the Pinedale Clinic. The first unit was delivered to the Marbleton/Big Piney Clinic in November.
Both units have been specially fabricated for the Sublette County Rural Health Care District. These containers are essential to operations of the clinics and will be used to test, monitor, treat, and if necessary, house any COVID positive, or possible COVID-positive patients. These containers are fully insulated with three isolated patient rooms. Each has their own negative pressure system, running water and electricity.
Funding for these containers came from the State of Wyoming CARES Act. Both containers will be up and running once an equipment delivery arrives, which was also funded by the CARES Act.
