Funding Your Hospital Security Program

One of the biggest challenges facing most hospital security departments is funding… funding for their officers, programs, and security technology upgrades.Fortunately, grants from the federal, state, and local governments can be excellent sources of funding. Just ask Joey Hunter, who is Director of Security, Safety and Emergency Preparedness for San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital.He was able to secure more than $400,000 in federal and state grants, as well as save his hospital $500,000 in capital. Those are just some of the reasons Hunter is one of this year’s Campus Safety Healthcare Director of the Year finalists.In our interview, Hunter tells us:How he was able to secure his grants: 1:30How to select a grant writer: 2:10How to select which grants to pursue: 2:51Advice for other hospitals applying for grants: 3:30 and 5:35CAMPUS SAFETY SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS:FacebookTwitterInstagramLinkedInYouTubeCAMPUS SAFETY SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook: https://facebook.com/CampusSafetyMagazineX: https://x.com/CampusSafetyMagInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/CampusSafetyMagLinkedIn Group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/1836305YouTube: @Campussafetymagazine
