Children across the South Bay are flocking to emergency rooms with RSV and flu, putting a strain on hospitals.
“We’re working with the nurses’ union to see if the nurses we have now will be allowed to take on extra shifts,” Chavez said.
To help handle the shortage, Dr. Dennis Lund, the chief medical officer at Stanford Children’s Health, said that “Stanford Children’s is deferring and rescheduling some elective clinical surgeries amid the respiratory illness surge in order to ensure that we have the capacity to care for our most at-risk young patients.”
