A Strong Dose of Security

November 25, 2025

Protecting a Large-Scale Healthcare Campus

Per Mar Security Services was recently selected to safeguard a sprawling Minnesota-based healthcare campus, one whose scale and sensitivity demanded more than just standard protection. With decades of experience, deep community roots, and a full spectrum of security capabilities, Per Mar was uniquely positioned to deliver a comprehensive, reliable solution.

Challenge

LifeCare Medical Center faced a complex set of security challenges: controlling access across multiple buildings, providing 24/7 monitoring, and ensuring rapid detection and response while keeping patient care uninterrupted. Given the sensitivity of healthcare environments, the client required a partner that could seamlessly integrate security-based technology with human oversight—and do so with trust and precision.

SOLUTION

Per Mar deployed a layered security strategy via access control with a lockdown feature and live video monitoring. The system’s core strength comes from the seamless connection between the access control platform and the human-monitored surveillance system. This integration keeps door activity and video footage perfectly aligned, allowing LifeCare staff to quickly pull up the exact clip associated with any access event.

Alongside hospital staff, Per Mar’s dedicated agents operate from its in-house, 24/7 monitoring center.

These agents maintain constant vigilance, leveraging analytic cameras to detect suspicious activity, verify it, and immediately notify responders.

Results

Since implementation, LifeCare has seen a reduction in unauthorized access events, improved incident response times, and a much higher level of confidence from staff, patients, and visitors.

Combining Per Mar proven business security technology with its human approach, the organization strengthened its security position without compromising the compassionate, patient-focused environment it values.
