You can call it a symbol of progress. Tuesday, one of four mobile field hospitals came down outside St. Francis Hospital in Hartford.
March 24th you saw it go up. May 12th you are seeing it come down. Part of Connecticuts COVID-19 Hospital surge plan, the 25 bed mobile field hospital would have served as another floor of St. Francis Hospital specifically to treat COVID-positive patients. Dr. John Rodis, the President of St. Francis Hospital said, I thought it was a symbolic gesture going up actually to show that this was a serious issue and it was a real pandemic and that we might need the beds.

I am glad they never had patients.
