Safety and Security

Creating and maintaining a safe, secure environment for both patients and visitors is of the utmost importance at Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital. OLBH has an on-site security force, keeping a watchful eye throughout the hospital and the hospital campus.

Security officers patrol the various campus buildings, parking structures, lots and grounds. Officers also are available to escort visitors to and from their automobiles and to provide assistance to motorists having vehicle trouble.

The Safety Department takes a proactive stance in preparing the hospital and community for any potential happenings such as severe weather, natural disasters, vehicular incidents, community disasters, etc. The department works with other public service agencies to conduct drills, making sure that all the needed equipment and personnel are in place to provide appropriate care quickly and effectively in unusual circumstances.

The Safety Department also works to ensure a safe physical structure, making sure facilities are well maintained, items are stored properly and that employees are trained in safety measures.
