Grace Cottage Hospital in Townsend, Vt., has built a "safe room" in its emergency department for vulnerable patients, according to an article on the Brattleboro Reformer website.
The new space was designed to help the hospital deal with an increasing number of emergency patients struggling with mental health and/or addiction issues.
There's a door that swings both ways, reinforced walls, a security camera connected to the nurses' station and remotely activated electrical outlets.
Other safety-related details integrated into the room include medical infrastructure like outlets, oxygen and suction can be covered by a retractable, locking metal door.
