At Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, the pediatric teaching partner of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, being leaders in pediatric medicine, research, treatment, education and advocacy are the pillars of the facility’s mission statement. “As a security department, we try our best to look at all aspects of security to see how we can play directly into providing great patient care,” says Myron Love, CPP, PSP, Director of Security Services. “Keeping our patients, families and staff safe is our number one priority.”
Being able to work with patients and their families is Love’s favorite part of working in the healthcare sector. “I think a lot of security professionals don’t have the benefit of being part of a team that’s there to nurture as well as protect like we are,” Love says. “That’s a wonderful thing about working in healthcare – we can see the direct impact that the officers’ work has on the welfare of our families and patients.”
