A water pipe leak shorted out electrical power at TLRMC early Thursday morning. The problem has been largely corrected; however, the electrical power may occasionally need to be shut off while further repairs are made. The hospital will operate on generator power during those periods. Every effort is being made to keep disruptions to a minimum.
Physician offices in the Kelley Medical Center and the Cave Bland facilities are open. Patients may want to call before coming to an appointment.
