Eaton Powers Rapid Medical Capacity Expansion Amid Coronavirus Pandemic for New York’s Largest Health Care Provider
NEW YORK — While the world continues to react to the COVID-19 pandemic, health care providers are working with their local communities to expand treatment capacity and provide exceptional care for all patients. Power management company Eaton answered the call when Southside Hospital in Bay Shore on Long Island — part of Northwell Health, New York’s largest healthcare provider — recently extended its triage capabilities with an emergency hospital tent and called upon a local partner to provide the critical equipment needed to keep the facility up and running. The low-voltage power distribution solutions provided by Eaton will help enable reliable, always-on power for the continuous delivery of patient care in the temporary emergency facility.
“The rapid completion of our Southside Hospital facility expansion would not have been possible without Eaton and our local partners coming together on short notice to deliver essential equipment,” said Kurt Jahrsdoerfer, director of engineering, Northwell Health.
