DALLAS, Texas — The Texas hospital that treated a nurse who was first diagnosed with Ebola released a video before she was transferred to a hospital in Maryland.

Before Nina Pham departed Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas for the National Institutes of Health's Clinical Center earlier Thursday, she was visited by her treating physician, Dr. Gary Weinstein, who recorded his conversation with her before she was discharged.

The hospital said Pham asked for the video to be shared.

Hospital spokesman Wendell Watson said Pham's transfer is necessary because numerous employees are being monitored for symptoms and aren't available to work.
