“Over the last six weeks, we’ve seen a rapid increase in the number of COVID hospitalizations now exceeding over 17,000 individuals currently hospitalized for COVID," said FHA President Mary Mayhew.

Mary Mayhew, president and CEO of the Florida Hospital Association, says the delta variant is sending thousands of mostly unvaccinated patients into hospitals. Health workers are feeling the strain.
