Protecting Those Who Care for Us

Frank Costa, President, Nexgen Protection Services

Hospitals should be places of healing—not fear. Yet healthcare workers face significant workplace violence risks, making effective security an essential part of a comprehensive hospital safety strategy.

Professional on-site security personnel can support access control, monitor public areas, respond to disturbances, and coordinate with clinical teams during emergencies.

Just as importantly, healthcare security requires compassion, de-escalation skills, discretion, and an understanding of the unique needs of patients and visitors.

Security should help protect caregivers while preserving a welcoming environment for those seeking treatment.

Is your healthcare facility equipped to protect its staff, patients, and visitors?
