DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – Hospitals in the area took precautions Wednesday night while crews worked to determine how much their water was affected by the water outage.
“As you can imagine, if you think about water disruption in a household, at a hospital it can be very different because we have tests, procedures, and other types of instruments that depend on water to be able to operate effectively.
Patient safety was paramount,” he says.
“We never wanted to cause any disruption to patient care.
We wanted to continue to provide that safe patient environment,” he said.
“Practicing for these types of events allows us to respond quickly and proactively and to follow the right measures so we don’t disrupt patient care.
Uhl goes on to say that thanks to quick reaction from hospital staff and officials, no disruptions to patient care were reported.
