“One of the biggest things that we’ve learned in this environment is that we need constant communication, both with the intensive care unit and with our sister facility up in San Diego,” Tovar said. “Everybody needs to know what’s coming.”Intensive care nurse manager Terry Taylor said everyone keeps an eye on the hospital’s main 26-bed COVID unit, which, as of late last week, was running at capacity pretty much all of the time.
