I have asked our facilities team to take a closer look at this area and they have come up with a plan I believe will improve the safety of this crosswalk. According to our team, a pole mounted, diamond-shaped and double facing pedestrian crosswalk sign is expected to be installed in this area in mid October. This sign will be equipped with a yellow strobe light at the top of the sign so that it will be very apparent as drivers approach this area. It's our hope that the new sign will make this crosswalk safer for our employees, patients and visitors. Thank you for bringing this safety concern to our attention.John Chessare MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16921654505743608351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597716632228519200.post-48673369843959765072013-09-18T11:56:36.971-07:002013-09-18T11:56:36.971-07:00Thanks, Anonymous.

I hope that our staff is taking direct action when these items are found. Our patients have the responsibility to not put our staff at risk of violent injury. We do not search patients or belongings for these items. <br /><br /> John Chessare MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16921654505743608351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597716632228519200.post-76606847706470227152013-09-16T06:45:29.823-07:002013-09-16T06:45:29.823-07:00A huge issue is that patient belongings are not be...A huge issue is that patient belongings are not being thoroughly checked upon admission to the ED. The patients are coming up to the units with knives, lighters, alcohol bottles, and all sorts of things to the units. This is not safe practice at all. These things should be confiscated and taken to security from the beginning.

One suggestion I have is that it feels very unsafe for anyone walking from Bluebell Parking Lot in the crosswalk to walk up Farm House Hill. On numerous occasions drivers do not stop for people walking across on the crosswalk and it can be very scary. Is there any discussion in the works on how to make it safer for when people cross?<br /><br />Thank you! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
