Home » Hospital Teaching Healthcare Employees to Take on Armed Intruders
Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston is working to boost awareness about active shooter protocols among its staff. This November, employees screened a 10-minute training video on what to do if, for example, a man storms into a hospital waiting room, pulls out a gun and demands to see a doctor.
According to a CBS Boston report, “It seems like an every other day occurrence now, so we need to make sure we’re prepared in the unlikely event,” says the hospital’s Security Director Robert Cicharello.
