UPDATE Monday, Sept. 11 at 10:30 a.m. ET
With the worst of the storm passing through Jacksonville overnight and into early morning, the hospital on Mayo Clinic’s Florida campus remains open and continues to operate on normal power and on normal communications channels. At this time, some other areas of campus are on generator power and many surrounding neighborhoods and businesses are without power. We are working to restore normal power in these areas on our campus, and carefully assessing any possible damage from the storm to make sure the campus is safe for patients and staff.
We continue to evaluate if we are able to return to normal operations on Tuesday, Sept. 12. We will make a decision no later than 5 p.m. ET on Monday regarding Tuesday operations.
We are communicating with colleagues at other local hospitals in Northeast Florida to see how we can all work together to serve our patients. We also have reached out to our Mayo Clinic Care Network partners in Naples and Lakeland to offer our assistance.
