Mayo Clinic reaches max capacity due to surge of COVID-19 cases

Action News Jax obtained an email from Mayo Clinic saying the hospital in Jacksonville has exceeded capacity due to the rise in COVID-19 patients.

The email said the hospital has notified the Agency for Health Care Administration that they have activated their ‘Surge Capacity Plan’ and that they have requested AHCA’s approval to operate overcapacity.

Mayo Clinic is operating overcapacity but said it still has enough staff that the surge areas needs are being met, and “life safety will not be jeopardized for any patients.”
