Community Health Network security and safety vice-president Kevin Mahan said: “We’re excited to partner with Xtract One to help bring safety to the forefront of our facilities and our patrons’ experiences.

“During the pilot period, the Xtract One system successfully detected and alerted on weapons of all sizes, including firearms and pocketknives. This knowledge, together with the data insights provided to us when using the solution made it very clear this was the right approach to ensuring a secure environment for all our patients.

“With Xtract One, we’re able to focus on our work delivering optimal healthcare experiences to our community, knowing that our employees, patients, and visitors are safe when they enter our facilities.”
