Profile
Northern Light Health, also referred to as Northern Light Health System, is headquartered in the United States. The organization operates hospitals and other healthcare facilities, as evidenced by its responsibility for patient care across multiple sites. It provides health services that rely on electronic health records and related information systems.
On February 3, 2024, Northern Light Health detected system abnormalities and responded by taking all servers offline as a precautionary measure. Although no patient data was confirmed to be compromised and the affected servers did not contain medical records, electronic health records and sensitive systems became temporarily inaccessible. The organization invoked downtime procedures to maintain uninterrupted patient care across its hospitals and facilities, while confirming that critical infrastructure such as HVAC and security systems remained under internal control. Authorities were notified and restoration efforts were undertaken alongside an ongoing investigation into the breach.
In September 2020, Northern Light Health's A. R. Gould Hospital issued a patient notification regarding its involvement in the Blackbaud breach. The notice informed individuals that their personal information may have been exposed through the third‑party service provider incident. No further details about the scope or impact of that event are provided in the source material.
