All facilities on the Emory University Hospital Midtown Campus, including parking facilities, are patrolled by Emory Police and Healthcare Public Safety, 24 hours per day. From 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. each day, access to the Hospital is controlled at four locations: the Peachtree lobby, the Emergency Department, the second-floor Medical Office Tower (MOT) Mezzanine Area (directly accessing the Summit parking deck), and the MOT Lobby.

The Hospital has a photo-identification card access plan whereby access to certain facilities and parking areas is restricted to persons who have an appropriate photo-identification card.

Crime and Security Awareness and Crime Prevention Programs

A variety of security awareness programs designed to inform students and/or employees about campus security procedures and practices and to encourage students and employees to be responsible for their own security and the security of others are provided each year. All new employees at the Hospital receive a security briefing as a part of their new-employee orientation during the ‘on-boarding’ process. Security and safety tips are published in the Hospital newsletter and posted on Hospital media boards. An annual on-line staff training module on workplace safety is provided via the Healthcare Learning Center. Written literature related to Holiday Safety Tips is presented annually during the winter time change. Safety presentations are presented by request to staff related to “Code Security” (priority request for security services) and “Code Silver” (emergent response to reported weapon-related violence) procedures.

Drug and Alcohol Abuse Education Programs

Emory University is committed to the health and well-being of its faculty, staff, and student body. Federal regulations, including the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act, mandate that Emory maintain an Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) Policy and distribute such policy to all students, faculty, and staff. Alcohol and drug misuse and abuse can be detrimental to one’s overall physical and emotional health, academic and/or professional performance, and can adversely impact family, friends, and co-workers. Alcohol and other drug misuse on college campuses is a major public health concern. Emory University’s policy, along with resources, health risks of alcohol and drug abuse, and consequences of this abuse may be found at http://policies.emory.edu/8.8. Emory Healthcare’s policy may be found at Substance Use/Abuse Policy – Part 1 and Substance Use/Abuse Policy-Part II. All Emory University and Emory Healthcare faculty, staff and students are prohibited by the University from unlawfully using, possessing, manufacturing, dispensing or distributing alcohol, controlled substances or illegal drugs on University- owned property or at University-sponsored activities.

Emory University and Emory Healthcare expects all of its faculty, staff, and students to comply with any applicable federal, state, or local laws pertaining to the use, possession, manufacture, dispensation or distribution of alcohol, controlled substances, or illegal drugs.

Members of the campus community are responsible for being fully aware of applicable policy, as well as local, state, and federal laws regarding the use of alcohol and other drugs. Alcohol and drug misuse and abuse can be detrimental to one’s overall physical and emotional health, as well as academic and/or professional work performance.
