TidalHealth to pause some elective surgeries as Maryland hospitalization rates jump

From staff reports  |  Salisbury Daily Times

UPDATE: The state of Maryland has surpassed the threshold of 1,500 COVID-19 hospitalizations Thursday, triggering additional actions by hospitals, as required by a Maryland Department of Health order.

TidalHealth announced that, beginning Dec. 27, the hospital system will temporarily suspend patient visitation and pause some elective surgeries at its Salisbury and Seaford locations as hospitalizations spike across the state. 

Both TidalHealth Peninsula Regional in Salisbury and TidalHealth Nanticoke in Seaford will experience a temporary pause at both hospitals of elective, non-emergency surgeries that require an overnight stay.

“A spike in COVID-19 cases, other seasonal illnesses and the many health needs of our communities, coupled with unprecedented workforce constraints have come together to create a perfect storm for health care providers,” said Dr. Sarah Arnett, vice president of patient care services and chief nursing officer at TidalHealth. “We are taking these steps for the safety of our patients and our health care team.”

The move comes after Gov. Larry Hogan announced new COVID-19 protocols for hospitals in prepare for a further surge in COVID-19 amid rising hospitalizations last week.

While the state of Delaware had not issued a similar directive, COVID-19 admissions and the strain caused by the census at TidalHealth Nanticoke made it necessary for the Seaford hospital to follow the same surgical reduction plan as the Salisbury hospital.

On Wednesday, the Maryland database showed 1,465 hospitalizations for the state. A week earlier, there were 1,151. A month ago, there were 508 hospitalizations in the state.

DATA: Eastern Shore COVID-19 statistics hard to come by weeks after cyberattack

The state health department was hit by a cyberattack earlier this month, and its website showing data on COVID-19 has been limited in its daily updates. It has resumed updates for vaccinations and hospitalizations.

In Easton, University of Maryland Shore Regional Health, part of University…

Swamp Creek Road Bridge over Unami Creek Closed in Marlborough Township

King of Prussia, PA – The bridge carrying Swamp Creek Road over Unami Creek in Marlborough Township, Montgomery County, was closed today after undermining of the bridge pier was discovered during an underwater bridge inspection, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

Work to repair the three-span stone masonry arch bridge is expected to begin in early January 2022. The roadway will remain closed for a few weeks until underpinning work is performed to prevent future scouring.

During the closure, Swamp Creek Road motorists will be directed to use Geryville Pike, Route 63 (Sumneytown Pike), Route 563 (Ridge Road), and Whites Mill Road.

Built in 1892, Swamp Creek Road Bridge was recently closed due to damaged caused by Tropical Storm Ida. Approximately 203 vehicles travel across the 89-foot-long, 20-foot-wide structure daily.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area because backups and delays will occur. The schedule is weather dependent.

Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles, including color-coded winter conditions on 2,900 miles, by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.

TidalHealth Will Suspend Visits With Hospital Patients, Pause Some Surgeries

TidalHealth plans to suspend visits with patients at TidalHealth Nanticoke Hospital in Seaford and TidalHealth Peninsula Regional in Salisbury beginning Monday, December 27th. Both hospitals will also temporarily pause elective, non-emergency surgeries that require an overnight stay.

“A spike in COVID-19 cases, other seasonal illnesses and the many health needs of our communities, coupled with unprecedented workforce constraints have come together to create a perfect storm for healthcare providers,” TidalHealth Vice President of Patient Care Services and Chief Nursing Officer Dr. Sarah Arnett said. “We are taking these steps for the safety of our patients and our healthcare team.”

The decision follows a directive from the State of Maryland that hospitals act in response to high patient volumes and demand for hospital beds. Although the State of Delaware currently does not have a similar directive, TidalHealth Nanticoke will undertake the same measures due to COVID-19 admissions.

“The COVID-19 omicron variant and the continued presence of the Delta variant are driving high rates of transmission and hospitalization,” TidalHealth CEO Steve Leonard said. “Getting vaccinated can reduce the severity of illness and the risk of transmission and will help take the pressure off our extremely busy facilities.”

TidalHealth released additional information Wednesday afternoon:

To protect patients, although visitation will be open until Dec. 27, do not visit patients at either hospital if you have symptoms of COVID-19 or any illness. Community spread of COVID-19 is very high, so consider carefully whether visitation is safe for loved ones in the hospital.

A multidisciplinary clinical team is evaluating all non-emergency, non-life-threatening surgeries requiring an overnight stay and those that can be postponed will be. Patients affected by the pause are being notified ahead of time by their surgeon’s office. Any questions should also be directed to that surgical…

Local Dayton area

Twin Valley Trail

This trail system is located in southwest Ohio, not far from the downtown Dayton area. It is accessible from a few different parks including Germantown Main Park.

The trail loops to connect with other systems and spans 49 miles according to Five Rivers MetroParks. Hikers of all levels can participate in short two-mile hikes or longer, more advanced hikes.

The park is open all year and is suitable for backpackers. It also features small campsites hikers can reserve to stay the night on the trail.

Sweet revenge: Michigan women beat No. 5 Baylor in overtime thriller

For the first time in program history, the Michigan women’s basketball team defeated a top-five team. Michigan upset No. 5 Baylor on Sunday in overtime, 74-68, at Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut.

The Wolverines got some revenge in the process. They’d lost to Baylor in last season’s NCAA Tournament Sweet 16.

After Naz Hillmon fouled out late in regulation, Leigha Brown took over. The senior finished with a game-high 25 points and scored the basket, with 3:24 left in overtime, that put Michigan ahead for good. Maddie Nolan followed it with a 3-pointer, and the Wolverines made their free throws and got enough stops down the stretch.

Michigan had lost its previous 33 games against top-five teams.

Hillmon had 15 points and 10 rebounds before fouling out with 22 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Her battle inside against fellow All American NaLyssa Smith was competitive. Hillmon shot just 6-of-19 from the field, while Smith was 8-of-15 for 21 points, and added 14 rebounds. The WNBA draft lottery aired immediately after the game, and both players could be top-five picks.

With Baylor down one, Smith’s driving layup rolled off the rim with 15 seconds left. Michigan secured the rebound and made four free throws to clinch the victory. The Wolverines were 20-of-24 from the foul line.

Freshman Laila Phelia scored 12 points and hit a big 3 to break a tie in the fourth quarter.

It was Brown, however, who came up the biggest. Her drives, pull-up jumpers, and foul shooting (11-of-13) were very much needed against such a talented team, especially once Hillmon fouled out. Brown played 42 minutes. Danielle Rauch played 44.

Michigan (11-1) dominated the boards on both ends and took advantage, scoring 29 second-chance points to Baylor’s three. Michigan led by 10 midway through the third quarter but saw its lead shrink to…

Three takeaways as No. 4 Louisville defeats No. 6 UConn for second time in program history

The Louisville women’s basketball team just won its 10th game in a row and Sunday may have been its biggest of the season. 

The Cardinals, ranked No. 4 in the USA Today Coaches Poll, defeated No. 6 Connecticut 69-64 at the Mohegan Sun Arena on Sunday. The Huskies (6-3) entered Sunday’s game undefeated in that arena, until the Cardinals (10-1) ended that streak. 

Louisville was led by Kianna Smith and Hailey Van Lith, each who scored 16 points and had crucial second-half runs. Ahlana Smith finished with 11 points, nine of hers came in the first half. 

The Cardinals used a stellar defensive performance to overcome a slow start and hold on against the Huskies. This win caps Louisville’s non-conference schedule, which featured four ranked teams. 

Next up for Louisville is Boston College on Dec. 30 to open ACC play.

Louisville finds its stroke from deep 

As good as Louisville was defensively, we have to start with the Cardinals’ shooting from deep. 

Louisville entered Sunday’s game shooting just 35% from deep, including Van Lith who was 5-of-33. It showed out against UConn, shooting 53% from the field. 

Van Lith was a perfect 2-of-2 from deep and hit back-to-back 3-pointers in the fourth quarter. Emily Engstler hit one, Kianna Smith was 1-of-4 from deep and Ahlana Smith was 3-of-4 from deep. 

Hard to lose when you play defense the way Louisville does and shoot more than 50% from deep. 

Cardinals defense keeps it in the game

Louisville was awful offensively in the first half against the Huskies. 

The Cardinals began the game 1-of-9 from the field and were down 10-2 early in the first quarter. But defense has been the strength for the Cardinals all year and it was again on Sunday. 

Louisville held UConn to 64 points per game…
