The Washington Health System has addressed so-called ‘chatter’ on various social media outlets with a Facebook post of their own. The post is in regards to the Obstetrics Unit at Washington Hospital and the potential ‘abduction of an infant’. The health system says its Police Department and Risk Management Department conducted ‘a several day investigation’ and determined that no immediate threat could be found. Washington Health System is not providing any other specifics and refused any additional comment to WJPA News. The Facebook post says they want to assure the public that the unit is ‘safe and secure’. It also mentions the hospital’s ‘multi-layered, state of the art security system’ that is regularly tested to ‘ensure its effectiveness in a constantly changing environment’.
