Report to the North Bend City Council from City Administrator David Milliron Tuesday, May 25, regarding safety concerns at Bay Area Hospital’s Emergency Room. “Chief Kappelman & Capt. Bennett had a meeting with Bay Area Hospital’s Emergency Department and Security Staff. The meeting was held at their request to discuss dangerous individuals brought in by law enforcement to their E.R. Hospital staff indicated that they have been experiencing a dramatic increase in the number of violent subjects being brought to the hospital. Representatives of the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, Coos Bay Police, and North Bend Police were invited. We discussed the possible formation of a co-response team staffed with all disciplines and discussed the value of a sobering/crisis center. The group will reconvene in about six weeks to continue this work.”
