The communities we serve benefit from this police model since having officers dedicated to our hospitals helps us to ensure the safety and security of our patients and associates. Each officer has been trained to work in the unique environment healthcare requires, with special attention paid to working with patient information and those with mental health needs.
Indiana was one of the states to allow hospitals to have their own police departments. In February of 2020, the Ascension St. Vincent Police Department was chartered and recognized by the state. Now we’re excited to celebrate this historic milestone.
