On June 13th, 2022, Oklahoma City police have a large presence at Integris Southwest Medical Center after a suicide at the hospital's campus Monday. “Integris officials said they cannot disclose any details because of privacy laws other than there was a death at the campus. Hospital officials are cooperating with the Oklahoma City Police Department.” This was news from KOCO 5, a local TV station in Oklahoma City which was published on their website Monday, June 13. Just 3 sentences, 51 words. Today is Thursday, June 16 and not another word about it. In today’s episode, three Doctors of Behavioral Health will discuss suicidality in the US and what states and healthcare systems can and should be doing to address this crisis proactively.
