A reported power failure knocked out TidalHealth’s phone and internet systems Thursday morning, also taking down the health system’s website, with no restoration time given.
All outpatient appointments were canceled for the rest of the day, and TidalHealth Urgent Care locations were closed pending reevaluation, later expected to remain shut until 2 p.m.
Peninsula Regional went on divert for trauma patients only, while Atlantic and Nanticoke were no longer on divert; Nanticoke had earlier been listed for STEMI and cardiac catheterization diversions.
TidalHealth said emergency patients should call 911 or go to an emergency department as crews work to restore service and updates continue on social media.
