To the editor:

As many of you know, there was a bomb threat at LMH on Friday, April 26th. The Lincoln City police and all their partners took the call seriously and were prompt and efficient in clearing the buildings and protecting the patients and staff of both the hospital and the attached Springfield Clinic building.

We are very blessed to have such dedicated and skilled officers protecting us. Thanks to all of those who were on duty and those off duty officers and paramedic staff called in to help. There was a tremendous response to this situation and I am so grateful.

Sincerely,
Melissa Cox MD
