Staffing shortages: Georgia National Guard deployed to Tanner’s hospitals

The Georgia National Guard has been deployed to Tanner’s hospitals in Carrollton and Villa Rica supporting departments amid critical staffing shortages. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals, nursing homes and other healthcare facilities across the nation experienced severe staffing shortages. The pandemic has compounded the problem. To help alleviate the issues in Georgia, Gov. Brian Kemp issued an emergency order last month to deploy more than 100 Georgia National Guard troops to healthcare facilities across the state.

On the heels of that order, Tanner Health System submitted a request for support and received a unit of 18 National Guard troops to support the health system’s nutrition services and environmental services staff.

“We are grateful to have the National Guard’s support,” said Loy Howard, president and CEO for Tanner Health System. “Throughout this pandemic, Gov. Kemp has been keenly interested in making sure hospitals in Georgia have the resources they need to get through this. It means a great deal to us to have these men and women in uniform here to help as our community struggles through this COVID crisis.” The deployment of the unit currently at Tanner is set through Dec. 3, 2021, but the governor can extend that date if Tanner’s need persists.
