A minor data breach of a vendor of Warner Hospital is impacting a small number of patients.

On the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday, CEO Paul Skowron told Regional Radio the data breach was to the management company of the hospital's pharmacy. Just over 500 potential patients could be impacted by this data breach. 

The patients whose information could have been impacted have been notified but Skowron points out they have not been informed of any issues by the patients who received the notice.

The data breach happened earlier this year. Many might remember a data breach from last year that impacted a much larger network of hospitals. Skowron notes this was a much smaller data breach.

Skowron is thankful they have been proactive in dealing with protocols for data breaches like the one encountered recently. Data breaches are a constant area of concern for him. 

For now, those patients impacted have not informed the hospital of any issues with their information but Skowron is encouraging, if you received the notice of that data breach, to check those credit scores, bank statements, and other financial records to make sure there is no suspicious activity.
