You may have noticed an increased presence of law enforcement at the hospital this morning. Wilbarger General Hospital, in conjunction with the Vernon Police Department, Vernon Sheriff’s Office, United Regional Health Care System, and the North Central Texas Trauma Regional Advisory Council (NCTTRAC), participated in an active shooter preparedness drill.
These exercises are conducted to help ensure our staff and community are prepared to respond effectively in the event of an emergency. We are grateful for the collaboration and support of our local and regional partners who helped make this training possible.
The safety of our patients, staff, and visitors remains our highest priority, and drills like this allow us to strengthen our coordination and response capabilities.
