For Visitors

Weapons detectors are for your safety

In an effort to keep everyone at UHS—patients, visitors and staff—safe and secure, UHS has installed weapons detection systems at the entrances of UHS Binghamton General Hospital and UHS Wilson Medical Center. Every person entering either hospital is required to pass through the detector, which very quickly determines whether there is a weapon.

Weapons of any kind, except those possessed by law enforcement in the performance of their duties, are not permitted at UHS Hospitals facilities. UHS is committed to keeping people safe as they come to us for care or work within our walls.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation with this important safety measure.
