The Baxter Regional Medical Center Emergency Response Team will conduct an active shooter drill Wednesday from 2 until 4 p.m. at the main hospital campus.
Activities for the drill will be focused at the East Entrance and other areas of the hospital. This community-wide active shooter drill will include members of multiple law enforcement agencies, fire/rescue services, area college and school students, local 911 services and hospital staff.
During the drill, the hospital will continue to be accessible, and there will be a member of the hospital staff standing by the entrance directing traffic. For safety reasons the drill will be closed to the general public.
Gerald Cantrell, director of Ambulance/EMT and Emergency Response Team chairman, says, “We don’t want the public alarmed in any way, if they hear multiple sirens headed for the hospital. Drills are performed throughout the year so we can see where our strengths lie and where we can improve.”
