will take place on Monday (December 4th) and the second is scheduled for December 18th.
The drills will involve scenarios in which a child is missing within the hospital, and staff members will be tasked with responding quickly and appropriately to locate the child and ensure their safe return to their guardians.
The drill will also include overhead page announcements that will be audible throughout the hospital.
These exercises are crucial to Bellin Health’s commitment to maintaining a secure environment for all patients, visitors and staff.
In addition to missing child drills, Bellin Health regularly conducts a variety of other initiatives and trainings to help keep its patients and communities safe.
This includes active shooter trainings, fire drills and emergency response preparedness education for staff members across the organization.
Dave Kobielak, Bellin Health Emergency Management Coordinator explained, “By conducting these drills, we are able to test our response protocols and identify areas for improvement in our procedures, ensuring that we are well-prepared to respond quickly and effectively to potential emergencies.”
