Monmouth Medical Center South in Lakewood, NJ experienced a major power outage early Shabbos morning, leaving the hospital operating on limited backup power for several hours.
The outage occurred at approximately 9:00 a.m., knocking out electricity throughout the facility.
Of the hospital’s three generators, only one was functioning, creating a potentially dangerous situation for patients.
As the crisis unfolded, local askanim and members of Hatzolah of Central Jersey and Chaveirim immediately sprang into action. Working tirelessly and in coordination with hospital staff, they helped stabilize the situation and ensure that patient care continued without interruption.
Thanks to their swift and selfless efforts, the most critical systems were kept running, and patients remained safe throughout the ordeal.
Power was eventually restored after several hours, but the response from the community’s frum emergency volunteers once again revealed the dedication of Lakewood’s local baalei chesed.
