According to Airielle J. Taylor, a senior public relations specialist at Ascension Michigan, the healthcare provider detected an unusual activity in their technology network on May 8, leading to a technology system disruption. The healthcare provider immediately initiated an investigation upon noticing the unusual activity and has taken steps to ensure that patient care delivery remains safe and minimally impacted.
As a result of this disruption, access to some systems has been interrupted. Despite this setback, Ascension Michigan’s care teams are working diligently to restore normal operations as quickly as possible. The healthcare provider has also notified authorities about the disruption and is currently trying to determine if any sensitive information has been affected.
At this time, no further details have been provided, but it has been reported that Ascension Wisconsin is facing a similar disruption. CBS News’ digital producer Sara Powers frequently covers local news, with a focus on subjects such as crime, politics, and entertainment. She will provide updates on the situation as more information becomes available.
