JACKSON, Wyo. — St. John’s Health announced today that it will postpone all elective procedures at the hospital.
The move is a response to a directive from the White House made today requesting hospitals across the country suspend elected procedures, effective March 21.
Procedures will not be postponed until Saturday at the soonest, said Chief Communications Officer Karen Connelly. Procedures scheduled in the next few days will go on as planned.
No end date has been set.
