The practice has launched an investigation into the scope and nature of the suspicious network activity, but the origin and details of the cyber threat remain unclear at this time, according to the report. 

Pinehurst Radiology’s hospital partner, FirstHeath of the Carolinas, also in Pinehurst, remains unaffected by the cybersecurity threat. The hospital has expanded its hours and opened additional appointment slots to accommodate Pinehurst Radiology patients during the closure. 

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.
