At Schneider Regional Medical Center (SRMC), we are committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and professional environment where healing can occur.
Any form of violence, abuse, or disruptive behavior that affects patient care or staff wellbeing will not be tolerated and will result in immediate removal from all SRMC facilities and grounds—including the Myrah Keating Smith Community Health Center (MKSCHC) and the Charlotte Kimelman Cancer Institute (CKCI).
SRMC enforces a zero-tolerance policy to protect the safety and well-being of our staff, patients, and visitors. This includes:
• Verbal abuse
• Threatening or assaultive language or actions
• Harassing, intimidating, or aggressive conduct
Individuals who engage in such behavior will be removed from the premises and banned from returning, except in the case of a verified medical emergency.
Why This Matters
According to national safety standards, including guidance from The Joint Commission, behavior that undermines professionalism and respect in healthcare settings can compromise patient outcomes, contribute to staff burnout, and disrupt the delivery of care.
SRMC is taking a firm stand to protect our team and uphold our mission of safe, respectful, and high-quality care. If you experience or witness any form of violence or abuse, please know that you are supported—and we will act promptly to ensure your safety.We thank our community for supporting this important policy and for helping us maintain a secure, healing environment for all.
