Julie Kent, director, facilities planning and integration, at Trinity Health
(Livonia, Mich.), says at the start of the COVID-19 surge planning in midMarch, Trinity Health first looked at using vacant units, shell spaces, and decommissioned facilities to accommodate an anticipated increase in patient
volumes. "The requirements for these types of projects were time and money,
which weren't available," she says. For example, decommissioned units were
estimated to need 90 days to renovate for reactivation. "Safety was our first priority, but we're also stewards of our finances," she says. "How could we justify
