Security changes are in place at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital (SFGH) after the body of a 75-year-old woman missing nearly two weeks was discovered in a power plant stairwell Wednesday by a hospital engineer, according to an article on the ABC7 website.
The woman was a resident at the Behavioral Health Center Residential Care Facility for the Elderly on the SFGH campus.
"(The woman) was not a patient of Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital," said Roland Pickens, Director of SF Health Network. That's an important distinction that the San Francisco sheriff says precluded deputies from looking for Andersen inside the nearby Power Plant building when facility staff notified them May 20.
He said previously security protocols focused on securing "patient care areas." Health network officials instituted 24/7 security badge access to the power plant after the woman's body was found.
