Hospital and Medical Clinic Security in Scranton & Wilkes-Barre | Tri State Security Solutions

Tri State Security Solutions, Inc. provides professional Hospitals and Medical Clinics security guard services throughout the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre metro area and Northeastern Pennsylvania. Healthcare Facilities face unique and critical security challenges that require specialized protection. From busy emergency rooms and patient care areas to pharmacies, administrative offices, and parking facilities, our experienced security officers help create safe, secure environments for patients, staff, physicians, and visitors.

As a locally owned and operated security company, Tri State Security Solutions understands the sensitive nature of healthcare settings. Hospitals and medical clinics must balance open access for patients with strict security protocols to protect vulnerable individuals, controlled substances, medical equipment, and confidential patient information. We deliver professional, compassionate, and highly trained security personnel who support a calm, healing atmosphere while maintaining strong safety standards.

Why Hospitals and Medical Clinics Need Dedicated Professional Security

Healthcare facilities are high-risk environments. They operate 24/7, manage large volumes of people (many in vulnerable states), store valuable pharmaceuticals and medical equipment, and handle sensitive personal information. Common security concerns include workplace violence, theft of drugs and equipment, unauthorized access to restricted areas, patient elopement, and emergency situations. A professional security presence helps deter threats, manage disruptions, control access, and provide rapid response during critical incidents.

Tri State Security Solutions carefully selects officers for healthcare assignments. All candidates undergo enhanced screening, including criminal background checks, Child Abuse Clearances, and additional clearances as required by healthcare regulations. We pay our officers above industry standards and equip them with full professional uniforms and gear, allowing us to attract and retain high-quality personnel who understand the importance of compassion combined with strong security.

Our Hospital & Medical Clinic Security Services Include:

• 24/7 Entrance and Lobby Security — Professional officers at main entrances, emergency departments, and visitor check-in points to verify credentials and manage access.
• Patient Care Area Monitoring — Discreet yet effective presence in hallways, waiting areas, and sensitive departments while respecting patient privacy and dignity.
• Pharmacy and Medication Security — Strict access control and monitoring of pharmacies and medication storage areas to prevent diversion and theft.
• Parking Lot & Perimeter Patrols — Regular mobile and foot patrols to enhance safety for staff and visitors, especially during night shifts.
• Workplace Violence Prevention — Trained officers skilled in de-escalation techniques and rapid intervention during behavioral health incidents.
• Emergency Response Coordination — Seamless collaboration with hospital security directors, nursing staff, and local law enforcement during codes and emergencies.
• After-Hours Security — Dedicated overnight coverage for facilities when risks are often highest.

Our officers receive specialized training for healthcare environments, including HIPAA awareness, patient rights, de-escalation in medical settings, active shooter response, infectious disease protocols, and emergency management procedures. We work closely with hospital administrators and security directors to develop comprehensive security plans that adapt to changing needs and regulatory requirements.
