FORT HOOD, Texas — The Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center said it has temporarily reduced surgical services to support current COVID-19 response operations.
The medical center said it has limited surgical services and will only conduct surgeries that support select readiness cases, time-sensitive procedures that would affect a patient's long-term health if delayed and urgent procedures.
A large number of elective procedures will be temporarily delayed until CRDAMC can reopen to full capacity, the medical center said.
