Security Enhancement
May 13, 2010
As we seek to enhance the security of the Medical Center, specific entrances to the building and internal doors to the Emergency Department will soon be equipped with a proximity card reader. Access to these doors will be controlled by a new name badge that will be provided to you. Effective June 1, the physician name badges will also open the parking lot gates to the physician parking lots. New name badges will be distributed to physicians in the Physician Dining Room during the following dates/times:
Monday, May 17 7 – 8 a.m.
Tuesday, May 18 7 – 8 a.m.; 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.
Thursday, May 20 7 – 8 a.m.; 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.
Monday, May 24 7 – 8 a.m.
Wednesday, May 26 7 – 8 a.m.; 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.
Thursday, May 27 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.
All of the security enhancement devices including a metal detector located at the Emergency Room Entrance will be “live” by June 1. After that time, all visitors accessing the facility between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. will be required to enter through the Emergency Department Entrance. Please stop by to pick up your new name badge during one of these times to assure your access to the facility is not interrupted.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Medical Staff office at (903) 315-1803.
