Security at hospital heightened as actress goes home with new baby

Healthcare Security Weekly, June 30, 2008

Security was a top priority at the Mississippi Southwest Regional Medical Centre in McCoomb where actress Jamie-Lynn Spears delivered a baby daughter.

Spears left the hospital on June 21 with the help of a police escort, reported Yahoo!Xtra. The 17-year-old actress and baby were hidden in the back of a car driven by Spears’ boyfriend.

In preparation for Spears’ departure from the medical center, there was a heavy security presence around the hospital, with a police cruiser stationed outside and another one driving around local roads on the lookout for photographers, the Web site reported. Members of the press were threatened with arrest if they came near the facility and hospital security guards constantly patrolled the grounds and searched various car parks around it in a golf cart. Jamie-Lynn’s sister, pop princess Britney Spears, had visited her at the hospital.
