Banner Churchill Reacts to Security Concerns

Update -- As of March 7, 2023, Banner released the following statement: All visitor restrictions related to an isolated security event have been lifted. We continue to monitor the situation and will make adjustments to ensure the safety of everyone on our campus.

 

We have received several reports and inquiries since Friday, February 24, 2023, regarding Banner Churchill Community Hospital being on “lockdown.”

After reaching out to the hospital, we have received the following response, “Due to a security concern that was identified last week and out of an abundance of caution, certain hospital entrances have been temporarily closed. All staff entrances remain accessible, and patients and visitors may enter through the main entrance.”

Banner staff will continue assessing the situation day to day and will provide an update with any changes. 

We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates when we have further information.

Visitors are not currently allowed in patient's rooms, or the ER waiting room. My husband was in the ER on Sunday and I was with him. Once he was admitted I had to leave.

From the editor: This is a very good question and we apologize for not catching that wasn't in there. We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITORComment author: Debra J RidenourComment text: So sorry for your loss.
