Kettering Health fully restores emergency operations after cyberattack
All Kettering Health emergency departments are now fully operational following a cyberattack that took its systems offline, according to a statement from the Dayton-based hospital group's website. John Weimer, Kettering Health senior vice president and leader for incident command, said in a statement that emergency rooms at Kettering Health locations are now accepting both walk-in patients and those transported by first responders. 'This is another great milestone in our recovery process. Our teams have worked incredibly hard to bring imaging up, so we could end diversion in our emergency departments,' Weimer said. The hospital group confirmed May 20 it was experiencing a cybersecurity attack due to unauthorized access to its network, according to a statement on Kettering Health's website. Kettering Health first announced it was experiencing a system-wide technology outage around 10:30 a.m. that morning, limiting its ability to access "certain patient care systems" across the organization. All elective inpatient and outpatient procedures at its facilities were canceled. Since the initial outage on May 20, teams across Kettering Health continue to restore all technology systems in the aftermath of unauthorized access that caused the cyberattack, according to their website. 'We're incredibly grateful to our community partners," Weimer said. "Especially GDAHA and Premier Health, for their support and to our own caregivers and staff who continue to develop temporary measures to boost our recovery and return to normal procedures."
