To help the community understand the effects of COVID-19 in our region and within the healthcare system, New Hanover Regional Medical Center is now releasing a public dashboard with key statistics, including the total numbers of COVID-19 positive patients that have been hospitalized, discharged and deceased, in addition to the average daily number of patients hospitalized per week.
With a larger number of patients, the release of the statistics does not post the same risk to patient confidentiality as existed with fewer cases earlier this year.
NHRMC will continue with weekly updates for as long as patient counts remain high.
