Summary
Three patients, including an armed and dangerous man with a prior conviction, escaped River Park Hospital in Cabell County in just one month, sparking outrage among county leaders who demand Governor Morrisey investigate alleged protocol failures. Law enforcement faces heightened risks near the facility, with schools and churches nearby, while federal privacy laws hinder their ability to track patients. The escaped individual was recaptured, but officials are pushing for systemic changes to prevent future escapes, highlighting the urgent tension between patient confidentiality and public safety.
