Best Healthcare: COVID-19 Alternate Care Facility Rises in 22 Days
Faced with the risk of a COVID-19 outbreak on St. Croix—an island with limited health care infrastructure—the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers oversaw a federal effort to rapidly deliver an alternate care facility to ensure that severely ill and infectious patients would have access to appropriate treatments.
Given the immediate need, the Corps called on Conti Federal Services to design and convert an existing National Guard barracks into a 48-bed acute-care facility—in just 22 days.
