The Texas hospital where a patient died from Ebola and two healthcare workers contracted the deadly disease has brought in Burson-Marsteller for crisis PR support.

texas health presbyterianTexas Health Presbyterian Hospital, a highly rated institution in the Lone Star State, has faced withering criticism over its safety procedures since the Ebola cases broke.

On Wednesday, the hospital said it will offer rooms for employees who may have been exposed to the virus as nurses have openly questioned safety procedures.

The two nurses who contracted the disease have been flown to hospitals in Maryland and Georgia for treatment.

The New York Times said the hospital hired Burson on Oct. 10 to help tell its side.

A hospital PR official asked about outside PR counsel earlier this week has not been reached.

Criticism has also been directed toward the Obama administration and the federal Centers for Disease Control in recent days. President Barack Obama on Wednesday and Thursday cancelled campaign appearances in the northeast and vowed a more "aggressive" posture toward containing the disease.
