A tornado touched down in St. Marys, badly damaging Pinecrest Manor and forcing an evacuation of our residents and a search for victims.
While that scenario isn't real, it could have been ... and that's why Elk Regional, working with local emergency responders, holds annual emergency preparedness drills!
We would like to thank all of the firefighters, search-and-rescue teams, EMTs and Paramedics, and Boy Scouts who participated in Monday's emergency preparedness drill at Elk Regional. We are grateful for your help in ensuring that our hospital is able to react quickly in disaster situations.
