AONL mourns shooting deaths at Dallas hospital

A shooter last week killed two employees at Methodist Dallas Medical Center in Texas. The police arrested and took the suspect to another hospital for treatment after a confrontation. Robyn Begley, AONL CEO and American Hospital Association senior vice president of workforce and CNO, said, “AHA and AONL mourn Saturday’s senseless tragedy at Dallas Methodist that took the lives of two health care workers. We stand with our colleagues as they grieve the loss of their friends and coworkers. Health care workers should never have to worry for their personal safety, especially while caring for a patient. AHA and AONL continue to work collectively with the health care community and policymakers to find solutions to mitigate workplace violence.” (AHA News article, 10/24/22)
