Several "unexplained injuries" to babies at a Wisconsin hospital's
newborn intensive care unit are under investigation by the local police,
according to authorities.
Authorities at Meriter Hospital in Madison reached out to the Madison
police on Friday and detectives with the department's special victims
unit have been investigating since then, police said.
No arrests have been made, Madison police spokesman Joel DeSpain told
ABC News today, but one employee has been suspended, hospital
spokeswoman Leah Huibregtse told ABC News, adding that the investigation
is ongoing.
The hospital has implemented extra monitoring and security measures and
is conducting an internal review, Huibregtse said in a statement.
"Nurturing and protecting the health of our patients is our highest
priority, so we were heartbroken to recently learn of patient safety
concerns regarding some of our youngest patients," the hospital
statement said. "Our care team is keenly focused on supporting our
patients and their families. Our determination to provide the best and
safest care could not be stronger.
"We will continue to cooperate with all appropriate agencies and will do
all we can to bring about a swift and appropriate resolution," the
statement said, adding, "We are also updating the families involved in
this matter."
