it's the largest medical center in SE WI its 2-3 miles east of the spa shooting site
and victims of the shooting were reportedly taken there.

This will quite literally impact thousands of people who are interested in visiting patients in these facilities.

Also the report is new patients are only being admitted with police (?again that's what the reporter said) escort.

Fear is the spa shooter may make an attack at the hospital.

There is no information on what it might take for a hospital visitor to enter.
