Gwinnett County has had more than a tenfold increase in COVID-19 cases since the Fourth of July weekend, according to the Georgia Department of Public Health.

As a hospital executive, I think it is my responsibility to tell the community what is going on in our ICU and Emergency Department, as we continue to cope with this fourth wave of COVID-19 infections.

Trent Lind is CEO of

Piedmont Eastside Hospital.
