Canopy, Leading Staff Safety Solution Creator, Emerges from Four Years of Stealth, Now Protecting 200,000 U.S. Healthcare Workers
Canopy, the company behind the industry-leading security solution that helps hospitals protect staff from workplace hostility and violence, has re-emerged after four years of operating in stealth mode. The solution was previously available only through distribution partners, who offered it under their own branding. But now, Canopy is taking a major strategic shift by offering its product directly to health systems. This move coincides with the launch of Canopy Protect, a new staff security service that allows health systems to monitor all physical locations with minimal maintenance. The company is on a mission to help health systems protect every healthcare worker in America, and to achieve this, they are aggressively recruiting new talent.
Canopy’s staff security solution is a comprehensive tool that enables healthcare workers to discreetly signal for help, prompting a quick response from security and nearby colleagues. It includes a wearable panic button for every employee, which integrates with a network of WiFi-connected devices throughout the hospital. The solution has been operational 24/7 for over 30 health systems and 800 locations, protecting more than 200,000 individuals. In 2023 alone, there were over 20,000 interventions in response to staff using the Canopy Protect buttons.
As Canopy emerges from stealth, they are announcing several strategic changes, including the launch of Canopy Protect, their new staff security offering. This solution leverages their extensive experience and is available directly from Canopy. Additionally, Canopy will be ending all distribution relationships and will offer assistance to partners to transition to Canopy Protect seamlessly, without any service disruption.
