LIST: These 55 Hospitals In Massachusetts Are Getting Help From The National Guard

BOSTON (CBS) - Up to 500 Massachusetts National Guard members are now training to help 55 hospitals and 12 ambulance companies with non-clinical responsibilities to help ease the burden on health care workers during this latest COVID-19 surge.

The Guard will assist with non-emergency transportation to and from hospitals, help move patients within the hospital, and bring patients to test rooms. They will also observe patients who may be a risk to themselves, act as security support, and help with food services.

The hope is the extra hands will free up doctors and nurses for patients who need them most.
