SUMMARY: On September 27, 2024, Unoy County Hospital experienced severe flooding, prompting the rescue of over 70 individuals, including Jeff Bowen, who was stranded on the hospital roof. His wife, Catherine, had brought him to the hospital that morning but became separated during the emergency. After hours in inflatable lifeboats, Jeff was finally rescued. The flooding, intensified by Hurricane Helen, rendered the hospital unusable. Ballad Health, which operates the hospital, is committed to providing critical healthcare services and has opened a 24/7 urgent care clinic in Unoy County while assessing future plans for the hospital’s reopening.

The hospital said around 70 people in total were rescued, both by boat and by helicopter.
