Geisinger is running at 110% capacity across its nine hospitals in central and northeastern Pennsylvania — overrun with largely unvaccinated COVID-19 patients who represent a quarter to well over half of all admissions.
Unvaccinated employees didn’t want to get tested twice a week for the coronavirus.
The issues occurred between 2012 and 2017.
Geisinger, which has 24,000 employees spread across central and northeastern Pennsylvania, held employee vaccination clinics and allowed each worker to bring two family members eligible for vaccination.
