Solving U.S. Hospital Bed Capacity Needs With FORTS® Mobile Advance Specialty Hospitals (MASH), Deliver Instant Surge Capacity
Across the U.S, hospital limited bed capacity isn’t just a seasonal problem, it’s a growing crisis. From catastrophic natural disasters, large scale terrorist attacks, ongoing pandemic, or simply the local healthcare systems are being pushed to their limits. Emergency departments are overflowing daily, elective procedures are delayed or canceled, and hospitals go on bypass simply due to a lack of bed space.
The solution?
Rapid-deploy, hard-walled, climate controlled, mobile advances specialty hospitals from FORTS®.
THE OVERFLOW CRISIS
A New Normal for Hospitals Across Our Nation
Hospital overcrowding is affecting both rural and urban regions across the U.S. According to recent reports:
Emergency rooms often operate above 100% capacity.
Natural disasters force evacuations and surge patients into nearby facilities.
Staffing shortages make it impossible to keep up with rising demand.
Permanent expansion costs and permit delays make facility growth nearly impossible on short timelines.
Hospitals need scalable infrastructure not in years, but in days. That’s where FORTS Mobile Advances Specialty Hospitals come in.
