HOSPITAL C.E.O. TESTIFIES ON CAPITOL HILL

Garrett Regional Medical Center and Potomac Valley Hospital President and CEO Mark Boucot joined members of Congress, along with hospital and physician leaders from across the U.S. at a recent Capitol Hill briefing to advocate for the bipartisan Safety from Violence for Healthcare Employees, of “SAVE” Act. The legislation would help protect healthcare workers from violence in the workplace, alleviate workforce challenges, and sustain quality patient care. The American Hospital Association supported legislation that would provide federal protections from violence for health care workers, similar to those that apply to aircraft and airport workers.
