Coquille Valley Hospital
Improving staff and patient safety with Verkada Security Cameras and Access Control.
Customer Overview
Coquille Valley Hospital is a critical access hospital located on the southern Oregon coast, serving a rural patient population across Coos County and surrounding communities. The hospital provides essential medical services, including emergency care, outpatient services, and specialized treatment across its main campus and remote clinic locations.
Operating in a distributed environment, the hospital must contain consistent visibility and security across multiple facilities while ensuring a safe and compliant setting for patients, staff, and visitors.
Challenge
Prior to upgrading its security infrastructure, Coquille Valley Hospital relied on a legacy camera system consisting of Axis cameras managed through a Milestone platform. This setup made investigations time consuming and limited the team’s ability to quickly locate and review critical footage.
The hospital also faced growing security concerns tied to its environment, including theft, trespassing, and individuals repeatedly returning to the facility after being removed. Without automated alerts or identification tools, staff had to rely on manual monitoring, which slowed response times and made it difficult to maintain consistent visibility across locations.
Why LTT Partners?
Coquille Valley Hospital chose LTT Partners for its forward-thinking approach towards security technology and its ability to align solutions with specialized operational needs. The hospital was looking for a partner that could provide access to modern, scalable systems while supporting long-term security and infrastructure goals.
LTT Partners stood out for its familiarity with emerging technologies and their ability to successfully deliver advanced solutions like Verkada. Beyond product access, they served as a trusted partner for sourcing, planning, and supporting ongoing initiatives.
Solution
Coquille Valley Hospital deployed a cloud-managed Verkada platform through LTT Partners, enabling centralized visibility across its main campus and remote clinics. The system allows staff to monitor activity and manage footage through a single interface, simplifying day-to-day operations and saving hours on investigation time.
AI-driven features such as Person of Interest alerts and facial recognition provide real-time notifications when previously trespassed individuals are detected, improving response times. The platform also enables secure video sharing, allowing staff to quickly send footage to law enforcement during incidents. In addition to video surveillance, the hospital implemented access control to manage and monitor entry points, along with environmental sensors for air quality, temperature, humidity, and water leaks, all within a system that supports rapid expansion.
Results
The deployment significantly reduced the time required to investigate incidents, allowing staff to locate and review footage in minutes rather than hours. This has had a direct impact on daily operations, freeing up time and enabling faster, more informed decision-making across the hospital.
Security teams can now take a more proactive approach, using alerts and AI features to identify and respond to repeat individuals as soon as they enter the facility. In one instance, a glass-break sensor triggered an alert, allowing staff to immediately access live camera footage and share it with law enforcement via text, leading to a rapid response and resolution. The system has also strengthened situational awareness across the hospital’s campus and remote clinics, supporting safer environments for both staff and patients.
Conclusion
By transitioning to a cloud-managed security platform, Coquille Valley Hospital modernized its approach to safety and operations across its facilities. The new system reduced investigative time, improved visibility, and enabled a more proactive response to security incidents.
With the support of LTT Partners, the hospital implemented a scalable solution that continues to evolve alongside its needs. Today, Coquille Valley Hospital operates with greater efficiency and confidence, supported by a security foundation designed to protect patients, staff, and critical infrastructure.
Looking Ahead
Coquille Valley Hospital plans to continue expanding its use of the Verkada platform as part of its long- term security strategy. Future initiatives include migrating additional legacy cameras, advancing door access control integration, and extending visibility across new and existing facilities.
The hospital is also exploring emerging capabilities such as firearm detection, multi-sensor cameras, and remote or solar-powered deployments to support areas with limited infrastructure. As security needs evolve, the partnership with LTT Partners will remain central to designing and implementing scalable solutions that enhance safety, efficiency, and operational resilience.
