Amid surge at UNM Hospital, feds send relief for staff

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The federal government is dispatching a medical team to assist the University of New Mexico Children’s Hospital, which has been overwhelmed with patients. The Albuquerque hospital announced a 14-member disaster response team from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will begin seeing children Saturday. Some doctors say they are busier than the past two winters when COVID-19 was the main factor increasing hospital admissions. Earlier this month, UNM Hospital resorted to erecting a tent outside the emergency room to triage adult patients.
