Hospital Security Issues
Security issues at hospitals in the United States have been an issue for some time. The Gazette Article notes that some hospitals use metal detectors and security guards. It did not state whether CAMC utilizes such measures. One factor in examining the security at any business is whether any prior crimes have occurred or their are special circumstances that warrant a higher degree of security.
