Campbell County Health

Campbell County Health (CCH) is a healthcare organization headquartered in Wyoming, United States. It operates an emergency department that provides urgent medical care to the community. The organization also manages critical care units that include behavioral health services. Home health and hospice care are offered as part of its continuum of services. Rehabilitation services are available to support patient recovery. In addition, Campbell County Health runs emergency medical services, including ambulance operations. A walk‑in clinic provides accessible outpatient care for non‑urgent needs. These services collectively serve residents of Campbell County and surrounding areas. The organization’s role is to deliver inpatient, outpatient, and community‑based health care. Its market is primarily the local population seeking medical treatment and support.

During a ransomware incident in September 2019, Campbell County Health activated triage protocols in its emergency department while maintaining patient safety in critical care units. The organization coordinated regionally for necessary patient transfers when certain services were temporarily unavailable. Emergency medical services increased ambulance availability and the walk‑in clinic operated under reduced hours to sustain access. These actions demonstrate the organization’s capacity to preserve essential functions under cyber‑related disruption. A prior phishing attack in January 2017 resulted in the unauthorized disclosure of employee Social Security numbers and W‑2 information. The incident highlights the organization’s exposure to social engineering threats targeting personnel data. Despite these security events, investigations found no evidence of patient data compromise in the ransomware case. Campbell County Health’s experience underscores the importance of robust incident response and continuity planning in healthcare. The organization continues to provide a broad range of medical and support services to its community. Its operational model integrates acute, post‑acute, behavioral health, and emergency medical care within a single health system.
