The United States Department of Health and Human Services has warned hospitals of potential terrorist attacks, according to an article on the Campus Safety website.
An HHS official sent a letter to officials in the public health sector with a list of resources designed to prepare public health facilities for the threat of an active shooter.
“It has come to my attention that ISIS has recently encouraged its followers in the U.S. to perpetrate lone wolf attacks on cinemas, malls and hospitals, possibly over the New Year holiday,” the letter said.
The letter reminded healthcare facilities to report any suspicious activities or incidents.
