Due to the recent Hurricanes Milton and Helene, there is a current shortage of Intravenous (IV)
fluids that is affecting hospitals nationwide.

Our leadership team is actively monitoring the situation and taking all necessary steps to
conserve IV fluids and forecast the needs of our healthcare system. We are meeting daily to
assess the impact of the shortage and to develop strategies for ensuring that we have adequate
supplies to continue to care for our patients. In addition to our ongoing efforts, we have
implemented additional clinical protocols to conserve our available supplies.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you who have adjusted your day-to-day
practice to accommodate for this shortage. Your partnership is critical in navigating this
temporary challenge.

We will continue to provide updates on the situation as it evolves. Thank you for your dedication
to high-quality patient care.
