## Rethinking Safety and Security in the Healthcare Environment

---

### Thursday, July 23th, 2026 | 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM CT 

Workplace violence against healthcare workers is impossible to ignore, with more than 80% of nurses reporting at least one incident in a single year, according to a 2024 National Nurses United report.

The fallout reaches well beyond the bedside. Six in 10 nurses have left or considered leaving the profession because of workplace violence, a loss strained health systems cannot absorb. The financial toll compounds it: workplace and community violence cost U.S. hospitals an estimated $18.27 billion in 2023, according to the American Hospital Association.

In this Becker's Healthcare panel, security and safety leaders from Advocate Health and Wellstar Health System discuss what it takes to protect the people who care for patients.

**They will discuss:**

 

- The legislative shifts raising the urgency around caregiver safety
- How leading health systems build a culture of safety beyond compliance
- The role of technology in protecting front-line staff
- Practical ways to reduce the human and financial cost of violence
