After a Harrington Hospital nurse was stabbed by a patient last June, the hospital installed metal detectors at its emergency department, becoming what it says is the first hospital in Massachusetts to do so, according to an article on the WB Journal website.
UMass Memorial Medical Center also installed metal detectors at its emergency departments last year at its University and Memorial campuses, and this spring conducted active-shooter training.
But Harrington and UMass are among the few hospitals in the state to have increased security, the article said.
No other Massachusetts hospitals appear to have added security measures, based on WB Journal's research.
