NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Vanderbilt University Medical Center has introduced new physical security measures, including metal detectors.
This began in May on VUMC’s 21st Avenue campus.
Throughout the testing period, the metal detectors will be moved to other locations on the 21st Avenue campus. The testing period and evaluation looks at all entrances where patients and visitors may access the facilities.
“Working closely with our partners in Vanderbilt University Police Department (VUPD), we are fortifying an already good security and safety foundation,” said Chad Fitzgerald, JD, Senior Vice President of Health System Emergency Operations at VUMC. “The work to further enhance our security has been ongoing for some time.”
