Windsor Regional Hospital

A cyberattack that affected five hospitals in Southwest Ontario prompted Michael Garron Hospital to disclose a data security incident.

Patient records and various internet services were impacted by the attacks on Windsor Regional Hospital, Erie Shores HealthCare, Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare, Bluewater Health, and the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance.

All of these hospitals use the same IT vendor, and the Ministry of Health has confirmed the vulnerability that affected them.

The ministry is convinced that TransForm SSO has and continues to take proper steps in response to this event.
