MultiCare’s Orthopedics Northwest clinic in Yakima, Wash., is temporarily closed following “a catastrophic power failure.”
The power outage occurred on the morning of March 13 following an alleged act of “vandalism” to a “critical” piece of the system’s power equipment, according to a notice posted on the practice’s website.
The incident led to a complete power shutdown, but no injuries have been reported. There is no timeline for when power will be restored.
