Description

Marcellus General Hospital is a hospital located in the suburb of Rhodenbank. The hospital has 286 beds and also served as a non-profit community teaching hospital. When it came to emergencies Marcellus General Hospital was able to provide services as a Level 1 Trauma Center, Area Wide Burn Center, and a Heart Care Station. The hospital medical staff participated in the "911 Receiving Hospitals Advisory Committee" as part of their duties as a Heart Care Station. The hospital was known for having engaged in many innovative programs specialized for its inner-city location, such as one of the few specialized asthma centers. When the outbreak spread throughout the city most of the medical staff eagerly evacuated the hospital when the military convoy arrived, but others chose to willingly stay in order to continue caring for patients whose medical conditions prevented them from being transported out of the city.

Ever since the initial outbreak the hospital has done its best to help treat the injured and provide safe harbor for the citizens of Malton.

Mandate

The staff at Marcellus General 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.

Survivors who find the building's barricades below their assigned level are asked to assist in raising them back up in order to help ensure the safety of all the survivors staying inside the building. Any survivor found lowering the barricades must present a valid reason for their actions or be labeled a zombie spy/death cultist and be judged accordingly.

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.
