Code Gray drill to involve every hospital department

Wednesday, May 1 will see all six hospital campuses participating in a safety drill for Code Gray emergencies — specifically threats posed by a combative individual. To reach all employees, a mini drill will be conducted in every unit/department with area-specific teams. The participating locations are Medical Center, East Campus, Surgical Hospital, Children’s Hospital, Behavioral Medicine Center and Murrieta. 

Department heads must select a point person who will be responsible for facilitating that department’s mini drill. This person could be a safety coordinator, educator, charge nurse or another capable individual. Please submit your department's designee information no later than Thursday, Feb. 7.
