Jefferson Methodist Hospital to reopen Saturday after power outage forced patient evacuations
Jefferson Methodist Hospital in South Philadelphia was evacuated Tuesday night after a power outage. The issue was reportedly caused by flooding in the facility's basement. Backup generators failed.
Officials at the 220-bed hospital said in an alert on Jefferson’s website that the hospital is transporting patients to other facilities due to “power issues.”
