Hospital increased security during governor's stay

Healthcare Security Weekly, May 14, 2007

Cooper University Hospital in Camden, NJ, increased security during the time it treated Governor Jon S. Corzine while he recuperated from injuries suffered in a serious car crash in April.

 

Cooper increased its own security force and state troopers helped during the governor's hospital stay, reported The Trentonian. Unmarked state police cars were stationed in front of the hospital's front door and the governor's security details became fixtures inside the facility.

 

News reporters took up residence in the hospital's lobby almost immediately after Corzine arrived at Cooper by helicopter after his SUV crashed on the Garden State Parkway on April 12. Hospital officials have not tallied the cost of the extra security or other expenses created by the governor's stay, the newspaper said.
