CVRMC Tracking Respiratory Cases During Managed Fires

Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center is tracking respiratory diagnosis through the Emergency Department and have compared this year with last year.

Last year the ER Department diagnosed and treated 31 respiratory cases between August 22 and September 2. During the same period this year the ER Department diagnosed and treated 29 respiratory cases.

The hospital is working with the Gila County Health Department to monitor the respiratory health of the region and is keeping the Globe Ranger District informed of any adverse changes.

  1. But how many locals with problems chose to seek medical care in the valley without going to Cobre Valley? Is that tracked?
