Shook:

Based on my experience at my last gig (working in Long Term Healthcare),
wireless should not be an issue as long as you are using some form of
encryption.  Since most wireless cards/AP/Routers support WPA2 I would just
turn that up on the AP for anything internal.  We had quite a few mobile
users that would travel from facility to facility and using the wireless in
facility.  We used Cisco Aironet 1300's with Cisco ACS, hooked into our AD
domain so that they had to use LEAP to get on to the wireless, and it worked
just fine for us.

HTH.
