Local 24 News cameras got a first inside tour of the alternate care hospital in downtown Memphis – that is now available for COVID-19 patients, should our local hospitals fill in the coming months.
The facility includes 401 beds spread out across several floors in the former Commercial Appeal building. Crews with 65 companies spent recent weeks demolishing and retrofitting the first conversion of a commercial building into an alternate care hospital in the country.
