Baystate Medical Center (“BMC”) and, from time to time, other sites owned and operated by Baystate Health, Inc. (“BH”) are clinical training and research sites for UMass Chan Medical School students who are pursuing the Population-Based Urban and Rural Community Health (“PURCH”) Track within the broader UMass Chan Medical School curriculum. The information presented in this section is specific to the clinical training sites operated by BMC, which are identified below, and BH’s facility at 3601 Main Street, Springfield, Massachusetts, where non-clinical training and research activities of UMass Chan Medical School -Baystate are conducted. BMC, located at 759 Chestnut Street, Springfield, Massachusetts, is a 716-bed tertiary care and teaching hospital, and the only Level 1 trauma center and pediatric trauma center in Western Massachusetts. In addition to the main hospital site, BMC operates several satellite facilities, including three community health centers, where UMass Chan Medical School -Baystate students may participate in clinical training activities. These sites are: • Baystate Ambulatory Care Center at 140 High Street, 140 High Street, Springfield, MA. • Baystate Brightwood Health Center/Centro de Salud, 308 Plainfield Street, Springfield, MA. • Baystate Mason Square Neighborhood Health Care Center, 11 Wilbraham Road, Springfield, MA; and • Baystate Ambulatory Care Center, 3601 Main Street, Springfield, MA. As a hospital licensed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Public Health and accredited by The Joint Commission, BMC is required to develop and has developed an emergency preparedness and a security program that protect staff, patients, and visitors at each of its licensed facilities, as described below. BH operates its own Security Department, with a total staff of ninety-five officers (excluding per diems). These officers are chosen based on their understanding of the role of security in health care. BH’s Security Department works closely with local law enforcement officials to maintain a safe environment, proactively prevent incidents, and address any incidents or concerns that may arise. Approximately fifteen members of BH’s Security Department have been sworn in by the City of Springfield as Special Police Officers and have completed the MPTC Bridge academy to become certified police officers. We have another fifteen officers who will be attending the MPTC Fulltime Police Academy over the next few years as we transition the department to the State Special Police Program. Special Police Officers possess the power and authority to apprehend and arrest anyone involved in illegal acts on BH property. A crime log is not maintained on the campus of Baystate Medical Center. All BH Security Department personnel receive extensive training in, among other things, non-violent crisis intervention, use of force, patrol procedures, bomb threat and search techniques, civil disturbance management, disaster plan procedures, and FEMA incident command systems (ICS100). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
