Hunterdon Healthcare to Close Respiratory Assessment Tent at HMC

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 3^rd 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.
