Front-line health care worker shortage due to COVID-19 vaccine mandates, burnout
Fox News
Hospital staffing shortages due to COVID-19 vaccination disputes have continued across the U.S. this month, leaving patients untreated amid surges of the virus' delta variant.
In upstate New York, several maternity staff members resigned from Lewis County General Hospital, worsening an existing shortage and forcing the hospital to stop delivering babies and potentially curtail services in five other departments.
"The number of resignations received leaves us no choice but to pause delivering babies at Lewis County General Hospital," CEO Gerald Cayer said at a September news conference. "It is my hope that the (state) Department of Health will work with us in pausing the service rather than closing the maternity department."
