Johnson Memorial Health

Johnson Memorial Health, also known as Johnson Memorial Hospital, is a healthcare organization headquartered in the United States of America. It operates as a health system that provides patient care services, including inpatient, outpatient, and emergency medical treatment. The organization utilizes electronic health record systems to manage clinical information and support care delivery. Its primary market is the local community where it delivers medical services to residents seeking treatment. As a health system, it coordinates various clinical departments and support functions to ensure continuity of care. The organization is situated in Indiana, as indicated by its inclusion among Indiana healthcare providers affected by regional cyber incidents.

In October 2021, Johnson Memorial Health experienced a cyberattack that forced the downtime of its electronic health record systems and prompted network shutdown procedures. The incident led the health system to collaborate with cybersecurity experts and law enforcement to investigate and restore operations while maintaining patient services through contingency plans. Registration delays were reported, requiring patients to arrive earlier for appointments during the recovery period. In March 2022, the organization was affected by a separate cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to patient data due to a malware infection at its external law firm, Reid and Riege. This breach exposed personal and protected health information, although the specific data types and number of affected individuals were not disclosed at the time of reporting. The hospital was notified approximately two months after the law firm detected the intrusion, and no confirmed misuse of the exposed information had been reported.
