ProMedica Toledo Hospital Temporarily on Lockdown Following Potential Threat

Toledo, Ohio – ProMedica Toledo Hospital was placed on temporary lockdown Thursday morning as authorities investigated a potential threat. The lockdown, which was enacted as a precautionary measure, was lifted after the situation was deemed not credible by law enforcement officials.

A spokesperson for the hospital confirmed the lockdown had been cleared, stating that the hospital took immediate steps to ensure the safety and well-being of patients, visitors, and staff. “We are appreciative of our Police and Security teams and the Toledo Police Department for their quick response in assessing the situation,” the spokesperson said in a statement to 13 Action News. “We also appreciate the patience of our patients, visitors, and staff as we worked to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone in our facility.”

At this time, the exact nature of the potential threat remains unclear. Toledo Police are continuing their investigation, but no further details have been released.

The hospital’s swift action and cooperation with local law enforcement helped to resolve the situation with minimal disruption. While the incident caused some concern, authorities are confident that the hospital’s security protocols were effective in maintaining safety throughout the process.

The lockdown was lifted shortly after police determined there was no immediate danger. The hospital has since returned to normal operations.
