Have you ever had one of those days where nothing seems to be going right? I sure know I have. Mix-matched socks, bad hair day, HANGRY (hungry and angry) with the world?  We’ve all been there, so you most certainly are not alone. We’ll leave the hunger problem to our great Nutrition and Dining staff, and your hair stylist for an A-line ombre.  But, there are many ways our wonderful security staff at Community Regional Medical Center can help you.

All fun aside, Community Regional’s security officers take their responsibility to protect property, assets, and people seriously.  If you’re experiencing a bit of mayhem in your day, let us help:

• Raining heavy or tired from a long exhausting day? 
  • Get an escort.  Escorts by foot or vehicle are available to employees, staff, and patients to and from your vehicle or other Community Regional buildings or parking lots. (Please note availability may vary due to staffing.)
    • Fun Fact: In 2015 Security provided 8,977 escorts.
• Left a light on in your vehicle and return to a dead battery?
  • You need a jump!  We can provide vehicle jump starts for visitors and  staff.

• Forgot the key to the lock on your locker?
  • We can cut it! Lock cut service is available to employees with supervisor approval.
• Are you a patient concerned about the security of your wallet, cash, or jewelry?
  • Allow us to secure it.  We’ll gladly secure valuables for emergency and admitted patients.

In this Fall/Winter season, not only is your post-man working through rain, sleet, and snow, but so is your local Security team.  Not only are we here to help protect the well-being of patients, staff, and visitors, we’re here to provide some of these forgotten services - among many others.  Who said all heroes wear capes?  Just maybe they also come in duty belts.
