Description

St. Mark's Hospital was a children's hospital located in the suburb of Rhodenbank. The hospital was founded in 1968 and became a popular pediatric facility serving patients throughout all Malton. Since then it has been purchased by Kaleida Health, although the hospital's name remained the same. The hospital has 320 inpatient beds and an extensive ambulatory care program, which included a hospital-based Primary Care Center and an outreach site at its Community Health Center. The hospital provided a full range of general and specialty ambulatory care services, as well as full emergency services and inpatient services before the outbreak.

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

Mandate

The staff at St. Mark'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 is a part of the Rhodenbank Highway, a series of buildings that are always Very Strongly (VS+2) barricaded so that inexperienced survivors without the Free Running skill will still be able to find a series of adjacent safehouses that they can enter while traveling through the suburb. This is in accordance with the suburb barricade plan enforced by the Rhodenbank Civil Defense Corps.

If the building is ever under attack from five or more zombies only then are survivors granted permission to barricade beyond Very Strongly, but only until the threat has passed. Survivors are warned that all members of the RCDC who find the barricades raised higher than Very Strongly have the right to lower them if there is no immediate threat to the building at that time.
