The President and CEO of Valley Health (VH) Mark Nantz is asking for help from the community to end the spread of COVID 19.

As all 6 hospitals and staff in the VH system are overwhelmed with cases the public needs to take all precautions.

The most severely ill patients are unvaccinated but the numbers are hard to determine as many are not honest about their vaccination status.

Nantz assures the public that regardless of vaccination status VH will continue to provide the best care possible.

VH has taken steps to ease the surge bringing in more beds, curtailing visitation and implementing other  measures to care for patients and protect the staff.
