Amid rising cases and stretched capacity, the Arizona health care system has been facing a challenging situation. While hospitals spent months preparing for a strain on surge capacity, they’re struggling with staffing challenges.  Good news may be around the corner, because it appears that the COVID-19 positive cases are finally on the decline. If this holds, how will it impact the staffing capacity issue at both hospitals and skilled nursing facilities, as well as the increased demand for testing and tracing? How is the Arizona health care system responding to COVID-19?
