Hospital Facility & Health Care

At Advent Secure, we understand that healthcare isn't just a job—it's a calling. Nurses, doctors, technicians, and support staff dedicate their lives to healing others, yet they face some of the highest risks of violence in any profession. In an environment where compassion must coexist with caution, traditional "tactical" security falls short. That's why Advent Secure specializes in educational, proactive risk assessments and training tailored specifically for hospitals, clinics, urgent cares, psychiatric wards, and long-term care facilities across North Carolina.
 

Our Healthcare Building Risk Assessment (HBRA) goes beyond checklists—we evaluate your facility like an agitated patient, disgruntled visitor, or active threat would. In 3–6 hours on-site, we uncover vulnerabilities that 94% of assaults exploit: dimly lit parking garages where staff walk alone at shift change, unsecured medication rooms that invite theft and sabotage, reception desks with zero ballistic protection, and psych-wing doors that open the wrong way during a code green.
 

Pricing: $0.25–$1.25 per square foot (most hospitals fall in the $0.45–$0.79 sweet spot). Includes travel statewide, 40–60 geo-tagged photos and interactive evacuation maps.

The Alarming Reality: Healthcare Violence Statistics (2024–2025)
*Healthcare workers aren't just at risk—they're the most assaulted profession in America. Ignoring proactive assessments isn't just negligent; it's dangerous.

*48% of all workplace violence injuries occur in healthcare—despite workers comprising only 10% of the U.S. workforce.
*16,975 documented assaults on nurses in 2023 alone; up to 76% of healthcare workers experience verbal abuse, threats, or physical violence annually.
*Type 2 Violence (patient-on-staff) accounts for 75–80% of incidents; ERs and psych units see rates 21 times higher than average occupations.
*Healthcare violence costs $2.7–$4.4 billion yearly in medical care, lost productivity, and legal fees—per OSHA and Bureau of Labor Statistics.
*1 in 4 nurses physically assaulted in the last year; weapons involved in 15–20% of cases (knives, syringes, furniture).
*Underreporting hides the truth: Only 20–30% of incidents are formally reported due to "it's part of the job" culture.
