About 400 employees at Tenet Healthcare Systems were evacuated Wednesday after a worker opened an envelope containing a white powder, which was later determined to be harmless, police said.
The employee was decontaminated, said Anaheim Police Lt. Joe Vargas.
The incident occurred about 10:30 a.m. when the woman opened the envelope at the healthcare provider’s bill processing division in the 1500 block of Douglas Street, Vargas said.
