DOING OUR PART.

The Story of HSS

HSS began in 1967 when we were formed as Midtown Hospital Association – seven member hospitals who agreed to outsource security systems services to a trusted third party. This was a first in the hospital industry. Since then, we have expanded our areas of expertise to encompass other high-stakes environments, but our customers always echo three consistent themes about us: Our depth of knowledge is unmatched. We integrate seamlessly into their operations and culture. And we care. These things form the foundation of our culture; they are in our DNA. It can be traced to our early beginnings in hospitals, where we learned firsthand the immeasurable value of service, compassion and care.

Stepping out of the ER doors while at his post at a Denver hospital, Sgt. David McPherson came face-to-face with a woman already in active labor. With a reassuring presence and steady hands, he delivered the baby girl and kept her safe until medical personnel arrived on scene, much to the joy of all involved!  As David learned first-hand, it’s not only doctors who can be heroes. A pregnant mother and her newborn child would surely agree.

While on patrol at a busy airport, Aviation Security Officer John Wiley discovered an unattended bag with $20,000 in cash stuffed inside. What would you have done? John Wiley knew. There was only one right thing to do. He notified management and law enforcement of his discovery, so it could be returned to its rightful owner.
