"Over Capacity: Strong Memorial Hospital's Emergency Department Struggles"

Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, N.Y. is currently over capacity with nearly 1,100 patients, 200 more than its licensed bed capacity, due to a shortage of nursing home beds. The hospital is working with government officials and nursing home partners to find solutions to the staffing crisis. Hospital leaders are urging the community to take proper precautions to prevent an increase in cases of flu, COVID, and RSV, and are encouraging non-critically ill individuals to use their Get Care Now website for on-demand video visits to alleviate the strain on the emergency department.

Humane Societies Face Challenges Amid Contagious Illnesses and Shelter Needs

The San Diego Humane Society has temporarily halted owner surrenders of dogs, except in emergencies, due to the presence of two highly contagious diseases: Streptococcus Equi subspecies Zooepidemicus (Strep zoo) and Mycoplasma. The combination of these illnesses has resulted in more severe disease. The organization is operating over capacity and will limit dog intake to strays, waive fees for lost dog reclaims and adoptions, and encourage temporary fostering. The society is treating affected dogs and implementing protective measures. They urge the community to participate in their programs to care for stray pets while seeking their owners.

Border Crisis: El Paso Struggles with Overwhelmed Shelters and Migrant Street Releases

El Paso is experiencing a surge in migrant arrivals, with local shelters operating over capacity and US Customs and Border Protection increasing street releases. The nonprofit Opportunity Center for the Homeless has been over capacity for three weeks, prompting the El Paso Office of Emergency Management to provide shelter in hotels. The lack of resources to reach their destinations is causing migrants to stay longer in El Paso. The region is seeing an average of 1,200 encounters per day at the border, with over 1,100 people being released to the community daily. Southern California, particularly San Diego County, is also facing an influx of migrants, with aid groups working to provide additional resources.
