CHICKASHA, Okla. (AP) — Grady Memorial Hospital in Chickasha may have to farm out surgeries to other facilities for a while.

A recent review found higher than acceptable humidity in one of the facility's large air-conditioning units, which serves the surgical area. Officials say they hospital doesn't have the money to quickly make the needed corrections.

Most of Grady's surgeries are elective or non-emergency so they can be rescheduled.
