Security officer uses gift to cut tension<\/h2>\n

When situations heat up, Fulton Rushing Jr. is able to cool them down.<\/p>\n

Patients who might be anxious, scared or even aggressive become calmer when speaking with him. Visitors who are tense or angry often walk away smiling after meeting with him, or at least they\u2019re satisfied by the interaction.<\/p>\n

Rushing specializes in diffusing tense situations \u2013 so much so that he\u2019s the \u201cgo-to\u201d security officer at UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central and other UCHealth facilities in the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cI strive to give patients and visitors the best customer service possible in what is often a stressful situation,\u201d he said. \u201cI see different emotions all the time, and it is usually because of what\u2019s going on in their lives or the lives of their loved ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

Don Kane, security manager for UCHealth\u2019s southern region, said Rushing has \u201ca gift\u201d when it comes to de-escalation, and Rushing also teaches his techniques at trainings for new security personnel.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe can migrate his demeanor based on the environment or patient themselves,\u201d Kane said. \u201cIf it\u2019s a younger person, he can speak the lingo. He can tailor his speech and verbal cues to that individual. He does it so well, they don\u2019t see him as an authority figure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rushing honed his techniques after four years in the Army, and then 20 years working with at-risk youth at Spring Creek Youth Services Center, a detention facility, in Colorado Springs. He came to UCHealth in 2017.<\/p>\n

During COVID-19, Rushing\u2019s skills have especially been put to the test.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are stressed out, scared and anxious that maybe they\u2019re sick with the virus,\u201d Rushing said. \u201cIt\u2019s a stressful situation for everyone, and it\u2019s a serious situation. I understand that, and I believe in uplifting people.\u201d<\/p>\n

When a visitor didn\u2019t want to put on a mask inside the hospital – and his temper was getting worse by the minute – Rushing was in the lobby to talk with the man, who ended up heading to see his loved one with a mask on. Onlookers in the lobby complimented Rushing afterward, and the visitor even sought him out later the day. \u201cHe told me he appreciated how I dealt with the situation, and he told me, \u2018I wish I had more people in my life like you, due to the fact that there\u2019s a lot going on in the world right now and a lot of anger.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Said Kane: \u201cWe never try to tell someone to do something, like tell them to \u2018calm down.\u2019 That is rarely effective. Rushing is great in giving someone options \u2013 \u2018When you put on your mask, I can get you up to the unit to see your loved one much faster\u2019 \u2013 it\u2019s \u2018if you can do this for me, I can do this for you.\u2019\u00a0 He does that very well.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the height of the pandemic, when lines of cars waited in a winding queue for drive-thru testing, Rushing encountered countless people who were scared and tense about getting the test. One driver in line, for instance, also was upset by having to use an app to schedule a test appointment. Rushing walked him through it and answered his questions.\u00a0 The man\u2019s response: \u201cOK, since you explained it like that, I will stay in line.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe man got his test, came out of the drive-thru, beeped at me and gave a thumbs up as he drove away,\u201d Rushing recalled.<\/p>\n

He also regularly provided entertainment for those waiting in their vehicle, offering them a friendly greeting and a wave and sometimes doing a little dance. He caught the eye of a reporter, who reached out to the UCHealth communications team about her observations:<\/p>\n

\u201cI just left a message on your cell, but wanted to reach out with a story idea,\u201d the reporter wrote in an email. \u201cI went over to the Parkside COVID tent on Friday at 11 a.m., and the security guard working at that time was SO AWESOME. He was directing cars — giving everyone thumbs up (every car, it was so sweet) and telling everyone, \u2018hope you’re OK; it’s gonna be OK!\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cTell him he made my day!”<\/p>\n

Rushing is well-known at Memorial and regularly lauded by hospital employees for his ability to light up a room.<\/p>\n

In one instance, his presence was requested by medical staff to assist with a patient\u2019s placement in a long-term care facility. He accompanied the patient to his new temporary home, assuring the patient that he would be fine. The move was successful and was completed without complications.<\/p>\n

Said Kane: \u201cHealth care security is very different from other types of security work. It\u2019s a customer-service based security environment, with varying customers: patients, staff and visitors.\u00a0The work can be very challenging, and de-escalation and communications skills are so important because we know that oftentimes the job includes interacting with people who are very upset and are having a very bad day \u2013 either from being in the hospital themselves or being worried about a loved one.\u201d<\/p>\n
