CareTalk: Healthcare. Unfiltered. Helene’s Impact on the Healthcare Supply Chain
This year’s hurricane season is battering states across the country, and the healthcare supply chain is feeling the pressure.
Making matters worse, Hurricane Helene has just crippled a North Carolina factory responsible for producing 60% of the IV fluids used in U.S. hospitals.
Will the healthcare supply chain buckle under the weight?
And how will patient care be impacted nationwide?
In this episode of HealthBiz Briefs, David Williams and John Driscoll explore how recent natural disasters affect our healthcare system and medical supply chains—and what these disruptions reveal about the long-term need for stronger disaster preparedness.
