Two hospitals provided care within damaged facilities


Georgia's LifeBrite Community Hospital of Early and Miller County Hospital provided care within damaged their damaged facilities during Hurricane Michael, according to an article on the Rome-News Tribune website.

LifeBrite had electrical issues and was isolated because of baf roads and Miller County lost water for 18 hours when the city of Colquitt’s water supply went down.
