On June 19, the clinics learned that an unauthorized party had entered their systems between June 5-7 and copied certain patient data. 

A review of stolen data determined that patient names and financial account information had been compromised. 

The clinic told affected individuals on or around Nov. 26, and made complimentary credit monitoring services available.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
