Twelve ICU patients were moved to another hospital and others were moved to different parts of the building after an air conditioner stopped working, an official said.
Twelve intensive care patients at St. Michael’s Medical Center in Newark were moved to another hospital Thursday after an air conditioning unit stopped working, a hospital official said.
“Certain parts of the hospital heated up, because we’re in the middle of a heatwave,” said Bruno Tedeschi, a hospital spokesman. “We had to transport some of our ICU patients to our sister hospital, St. Mary’s General Hospital in Passaic.”
