Summary
Kettering Health in Ohio announced the restoration of its radiation oncology services on May 23, following a ransomware attack that began on May 20, which disrupted patient care and led to the cancellation of elective surgeries. During the incident, the health system maintained operations in its emergency rooms and clinics and worked with neighboring hospitals to support continuity of care. The cyberattack, characterized by ransom demands, affected many systems, though Kettering's patient portal remained operational. The health system's leadership expressed appreciation for local hospital support, and staff worked through the Memorial Day weekend to quickly resume radiation treatments for patients.
