Medical records of 4,158 Garrison Women’s Health patients lost due to IT vendor attack
Medical records of Garrison Women’s Health patients were recently “subject to unauthorized third-party activity,” according to information released Friday evening by Wentworth-Douglass Hospital.
For 4,158 patients, data such as appointment records and certain personal health information cannot be recovered, according to Adam Bagni, a hospital spokesman. The hospital says there is “no evidence” the information was viewed or taken, citing a legal investigation by Global Network Systems, which hosted the records on its servers as the clinic’s technology services provider.
In a statement, Garrison Women’s Health, which is part of Wentworth Health Partners, said it “deeply regrets any concern this incident may have caused and wants to assure patients that it takes this matter seriously.”
