Overview

• On Aug. 14 at 11:15 a.m., the hospital lost primary power and briefly lost backup generator supply, triggering emergency protocols
• Incoming ambulances were diverted to nearby facilities and five NICU infants and six laboring mothers were transferred to ensure uninterrupted care
• Built-in battery backups kept ventilators and other life-support equipment operational throughout the disruption
• Full campus power was restored by about 1 p.m., though non-emergency services remained on hold pending safety and system checks
• Murray Fire Chief Joseph Mittelman said the failure likely originated within the hospital’s power system rather than the municipal grid, and an investigation is under way
