Lifeboat Foundation Responds to Largest Ebola Outbreak in History

Minden, NV | Posted on October 2nd, 2014

Especially alarming was that the first patient to be diagnosed with
Ebola in a USA hospital was evaluated initially and turned away, a
critical missed opportunity that could result in others being exposed to
the deadly virus.

On the second visit two days later, the patient, who has not been
identified, arrived by ambulance, potentially putting at risk the
emergency responders who transported the patient.
