“This week, we passed our 100^th day in our fight against COVID-19.  While we certainly wish day 100 would have been our last, the Phoebe Family continues to work tirelessly to treat COVID-19 patients, while also safely and compassionately caring for the rapidly growing number of non-COVID patients seeking treatment at our hospitals and clinics.  We want to stress to the people of southwest Georgia that coronavirus transmission continues in our communities, though, thankfully, at a much lower rate than earlier in the crisis.  Since Sunday, we have admitted four new COVID-19 patients and discharged nine from our Albany hospital campuses.  Our number of hospitalized patients is slowly declining, and we hope we will soon dip below a total of 30 for the first time since this public health emergency began,” said Scott Steiner, Phoebe Putney Health System Chief Executive Officer.
