The board members are just playing stupid; they don't want to let on that they have thought this through. They really don't care if the hospital gets shot up as long as:
1) they personally don't get shot
2) they can blame somebody else
"It's not our fault, we clearly had a sign on each door prohibiting weapons"
A sign on the door is cheaper than trained armed guards. Allowing untrained ad hoc armed guards might expose them to a liability claim. Always follow the money.
