At UHN, the safety of patients, visitors, staff, learners and volunteers is a priority. That's why our Security Operations team offers the Walk-Safe Program, which provides a security guard escort to ensure patients, visitors, staff, learners and volunteers get to and from UHN sites safely.
Through the Walk-Safe Program, a security guard can escort any patient, visitor, or TeamUHN member to and/or from:
- Adjoining hospitals through the tunnel system along University Ave. (i.e. SickKids, Mount Sinai, Princess Margaret, Toronto Rehab)
- Parking lots, TTC stations or taxi stands that are close by
- Isolated areas
Walk-Safe is available at all UHN sites (Michener, Princess Margaret, Toronto General, Toronto Rehab, Toronto Western).
Please note: Security guards will not escort patients from units to external areas to smoke.
How to book the Walk-Safe Program
- Speak to your health care team and ask them to book you a Walk-Safe escort through UHN's Security Operations.
- You will need to provide your full name, location (building, wing, floor and room number) and destination.
- Wait for your UHN security guard to arrive and safely escort you to your destination.
