MOAB

Middlesex Health is committed to providing an environment that is safe, secure and free of harassment, threats, intimidation and violence for our employees, patients and visitors. 

MOAB's goal is to teach participants how to protect themselves from injury, and at the same time, control individuals without causing them harm. This program is based on sound principles and empower people with the necessary skills to avert conflict and injuries through various de-escalation techniques.
