2022 Together We Well. Project
In 2021, there were 14,357 calls made to the Bothwell Security team that included 309 impairments from drugs or alcohol; 42 assaults; 29 use-of-force incidents; 102 combative patients; and 64 weapon seizures. On average, law enforcement was called two times a month for assistance with these calls.
The Together We Well. Club is raising funds for a K9 Security Officer to be added to the Security team to help mitigate the rising threat of violence against our health care team.
