As of 6:00 p.m. on Friday, May 1st, Hunterdon Healthcare will close the Respiratory Assessment Tent located at Hunterdon Medical Center. Over the past two weeks, the Respiratory Assessment Tent has seen a decrease in patient volume which is why the decision was made to close the site.
The tent opened on April 3rd to help alleviate volume strain in the Emergency Department and focus on COVID-19 patients and testing. The tent saw over 520 patients this past month.
Hunterdon Healthcare’s COVID-19 Community Hotline will remain open to help triage and navigate patients to their primary care provider or a designated Respiratory Illness office for further assessment and testing.
Hunterdon Healthcare’s COVID-19 Community Hotline is open Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. and Saturday –Sunday 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. The hotline can be reached at 908-788-6440.
