Last week's power outages were no match for a new set of generators at Warner Hospital.

On the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday, CEO Paul Skowron told Regional Radio they recently purchased new generators knowing their old ones were not going to be enough for emergency events like we had last week with widespread power outages across the area.

If the hospital had not upgraded those generators, the hospital would have had to shut down the emergency room. Skowron indicates the old generators had much less capacity to handle a storm that we got last week.

Skowron sang the praises of his staff for being available to the needs of the community and rolling with the ups and downs the roughly 36 hours brought for the facility.
