Baptist Memorial Golden Triangle Hospital adds protection to facility
SUMMARY: Baptist Memorial Golden Triangle Hospital in Columbus, Mississippi has installed metal detectors at the entrance of the emergency room (ER) to improve safety for patients and staff. Every guest or patient who enters the ER is required to go through the detector, and security personnel are equipped with handheld detector wands. The hospital is also considering expanding these safety precautions in the future. Additionally, the hospital has security measures in place at other entrances, such as requiring ID badge access. The ER is open 24/7, so screening will occur at all times.
