By HFT Staff


Sarah D. Culbertson Memorial Hospital in Rushville, IL, has confirmed that it has fully restored its IT systems following a March 2023 cyberattack.  The hospital experienced disruption to its network on March 30, 2023. Systems were shut down to contain the attack and third-party cybersecurity experts were engaged to investigate the attack and determine the extent to which patient data was involved. 

While access to the majority of its IT systems was prevented during the attack and breach response, the hospital confirmed that its ED services have been operational throughout and patient care was unaffected. Notifications will be issued to affected individuals if patient data is determined to have been compromised in the attack.
