title: Administering a healthy dose of security.
abstract: The article describes how a hospital located in a poor, crime-ridden section of a large city has made the most of in-house resources and public-private liaisons to improve security at its 113-acre campus. Details on the facility's double-pronged approach--tight internal security and strong external liaisons with businesses, law enforcement, and community groups--are provided.
