University of Kentucky's Emergency Departments implement additional security measures
University of Kentucky (UK) and UK HealthCare officials have decided to add additional security measures in its emergency departments and healthcare facilities in response to increasing reports of violence taking place across the nation in healthcare settings.
One of those measures includes UK Police using handheld metal detectors to “wand” all patients and visitors entering the emergency departments at UK Chandler Hospital and UK Good Samaritan Hospital beginning this week.
