Ray DeMonia was able to find an ICU bed some 200 miles away in another state that could treat him for his cardiac arrest.
According to his family, DeMoina struggled to find an empty bed due to ICUs being overrun with unvaccinated patients who had been struck down with COVID-19.
"Due to COVID-19 Cullman, Regional Medical Center emergency staff contacted 43 hospitals in three states in search of a cardiac ICU bed and finally located one in Meridian, Mississippi. He would not want any other family to go through what his did." While the state is improving its vaccination rates, there are still counties that are falling behind with some 30 percent being inoculated.
