"Transferred another 4 very sick patients out, including 3 to the USS Comfort. Everyone pitched in to work the system to make it happen. What a team effort to pull the right strings. Things were stabilized as we ended our day, despite the strong aftershock." January 25, 2010

“Jay Leno said calling it an aftershock is like calling the second twin an "after-delivery". He is right. No matter how you look at it, we had an earthquake early this morning that was a 6.1.The tremor was really scary. When we arrived at the hospital we found our night crew outside with ALL of the patients. They evacuated all of them. They were amazing!” January 23, 2010
