Wow, what a whirlwind of 36 hours.
Starting at 9:45am yesterday (Monday) morning our plaza has a drainage issue that caused a partial roof collapse. This allowed yesterday's storm to come rushing in very, very quickly on our staff while they were actively working (and even had a patient under anesthesia). Thankfully, we have the most amazing staff in the world and they jumped into action to literally try to save our sinking ship. I will post some videos so our clients can see the extent of what we were met with suddenly and why we were unable to call anyone back immediately.
I do want to clarify that any news articles stating we walked into a burst pipe are completely untrue. The hospital was in regular condition when we walked in at 8am on Monday. All tenants were effected and the city fire department had to evacuate the entire building on Monday because there was a smell of smoke and electrical was cut to everyone. All businesses in our plaza were unable to operate today (Tuesday) until the plaza passed the city electrical inspection to safely operate.
Our plaza has officially passed the city electrical inspection this afternoon.
That being said, we will be open tomorrow, Wednesday 4/19/23 with regular business hours. We have had to cancel some surgeries and will continue to push back anesthetic procedures as needed until we can safely perform those procedures in our space. Also our X-ray unit is currently non-operational and we will need to go through the process of warranty, insurance, and re-install if a new unit is truly needed. Unfortunately all x-rays will need to be referred out at this time and we apologize for the inconvenience.
We are unsure if one or two of our a/c units are shot, but we do have one completely functional, so we apologize if a little warm tomorrow. It also may be louder than usual with fans and dehumidifiers running to dry everything out.
If anyone has any extra towels they were looking to get rid of or donate out we would happily

Leo came in this evening for his last set of puppy boosters and as Leo's parents were checking out, his littermate brother Hemi came in with his family for his last set of boosters. These two siblings were so excited to see each other since going to their new homes! Thanks to their owners for letting us share their cute little reunion with our Facebook followers!
