Description

St. Helier's Hospital is a hospital located in the suburb of Rhodenbank, on the border with the suburb of Earletown to the west. The hospital is owned under the umbrella of the Malton Health & Hospital Corporation. St. Helier's Hospital was also one of several city-run hospitals located throughout Malton. Built in 1982 the hospital was later renovated in 1997, when the MH&H Corporation began a modernization program on many of its properties throughout the city. Phase 1 of the renovations included a 250,000 sq ft Bed Tower which was completed in 2001. This was to be followed by Phase 2, a 260,000 treatment and diagnostic center, and Phase 3, an ambulatory center, but unfortunately Phase 2 was never completed and Phase 3 never started due to the "Malton Incident". Due to the outbreak the east wing of the hospital, which was to be the new treatment and diagnostic center, is still covered in construction scaffolding and white tarps while many of its rooms are incomplete and empty.

Ever since the initial days of the outbreak the hospital has done its best to help treat the injured and provide safe harbor for the citizens of Malton. Of course due to the evacuation not all of the original medical staff are even around, so survivors sometimes discover medical assistance is not always volunteered.

Mandate

The staff at St. Helier's Hospital try to always support the following ideals:

1. To provide medical assistance to anyone and everyone who enters.
2. To cure the infected.
3. To keep its doors open to lower level survivors, if possible.

It is asked that survivors please note whether or not there is a portable generator within the hospital, and whether it has fuel or not. As a working portable generator is required for the Surgery skill it is asked the survivors provide support by replacing either the generator when destroyed or refilling its fuel supply when its exhausted. This in turn will allow the medical staff to provide more efficient aid to the injured.

Barricade Policy

This building follows the barricade policy set forth in the Rhodenbank Barricading Plan. Created by the Rhodenbank Civil Defense Corps, the policy dictates that almost every tactical resource point in Rhodenbank should only be Very Strongly (VS+2) barricaded and no higher, so as to be accessible to inexperienced survivors who do not have the Free Running skill. As a hospital it is important that every effort be made to keep an "open door" policy (i.e. VS+2 barricades) so that all survivors have access to medical assistance for dealing with injuries and/or infections.

Still, should the number of zombies rise above 5 within a 3x3 grid around the hospital or reports of nearby resources buildings being overrun be confirmed, then barricades should be raised to Extremely Heavily in order to protect everyone inside the hospital. Note that members of the RCDC have the right to lower the barricades to Very Strongly if they discover them raised higher without just cause.

Current Events

August 23rd, 2008 - 10 humans, 0 zombies, 0 dead/revivifying bodies. It's EHB +2 last I checked and the generator is fueled.

March 6th, 2007 - The Drama Club dropped by suddenly and performed scenes from "Army of Darkness" as part of their Border Tour of Malton. The group plans to travel clockwise around the border suburbs of Malton with one show in each suburb. They originally visited Club Knyps looking to perform there, but found no audience at the club. As such, they made an impromptu performance here instead (Audience: 6 survivors).

September 4th, 2006 - Today is Labor Day, and deep instincts inside all American zombies demand that they take the day off, pop a cold beverage, put their rotting feet up on a nice ottoman and maybe watch a relaxing snuff film or two. Despite this ancient urge, the Minions of the Apocalypse managed to collect enough zombies to break into St. Helier's Hospital. Despite clear warning graffiti inside (as someone spraypainted Don't sleep here, too dangerous! onto a wall) over 20 survivors were found inside. By the end there were none...

June 10th, 2006 - The Ridleybank Resistance Front assaulted and overran the building. Survivors were forced to flee eastwards as the zombie horde continued to decimate other resource buildings in west-Rhodenbank.
