SAN ANTONIO, Texas – At the request of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, one team of approximately 20 military medical personnel, including doctors, nurses, and respiratory therapists, will deploy to the state of Utah to support civilian healthcare workers treating COVID-19 patients.
“Despite COVID-19 cases declining across the country, ARNORTH continues to support FEMA and the whole-of-government response to the pandemic,” said Lt. Gen. John R. Evans, Jr., U.S. Army North commander. “This team is supporting federal, state and local efforts to alleviate suffering, defeat the virus and increase our nation’s resiliency.”
The U.S. Navy team will support the University of Utah Hospital in Salt Lake City.
