LINCOLN, Neb. (Lincoln Journal Star) — Doctors, nurses and administrators at a Nebraska hospital cheered as a 91-year-old woman was wheeled out of a unit housing COVID-19 patients.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports that Imogene Hostetler said that she felt “great” after she left the CHI St. Elizabeth on Thursday.
She said she wants to “plant some flowers or bake a cake.”
On April 5, Hostetler became one of the initial five residents from the Gold Crest Retirement Center in Adams to test positive for coronavirus.
Over the course of the next week, the retirement home would have 24 positive tests between residents and staff members.
Three Gold Crest residents who tested positive died.
