Effective Sept. 16, AdventHealth’s Central Florida Division will transition to “green” status. This move signals a return to mostly normal operations. AdventHealth currently has 890 inpatients across Central Florida, compared to a peak of 1,700 on Aug. 23. “After seeing our COVID inpatient volumes continue to steadily decline, we are pleased to move to green status, which allows us to resume our non-emergent services that have been on hold for several weeks,” said Dr. Neil Finkler, chief clinical officer of AdventHealth’s Central Florida Division. “We thank our community and patients for their continued support and patience as we ramp up operations and procedures. We ask for our community’s continued support by continuing to mask, practice social distancing and get vaccinated. The vast majority of people hospitalized and seriously ill continue to be unvaccinated.”
