After a break-in before Christmas, security improvements have been made at Hanover and District Hospital.
Board Chair Robert Graham says suspects broke in on a Sunday evening and attempted to enter several locked rooms. Some electronic equipment was stolen.
Graham says new measures are in place and they have a heightened awareness and vigilance towards hospital visitors who don’t appear to have any reason for being inside the building.
He says other institutions have had stronger security for a while and Hanover hasn’t had to be concerned about it until now.
Graham says hospital staff had previously shown a more trusting attitude towards people who were walking the hallways of the hospital.
The security measures include identification badges.
