Idaho hospitals reopen clinics, start taking ambulances 2 weeks after cyberattack

Two Idaho hospitals continued to recover two weeks after a cyberattack.

Mountain View Hospital and Idaho Falls Community Hospital, both in Idaho Falls, said June 9 they were still working toward being fully operational after the May 29 IT security incident but were making progress. All of Mountain View's clinics besides its RediCare urgent care had opened, while Idaho Falls Community Hospital had begun accepting ambulances on a case-by-case basis.

"We want to thank our community for your support and understanding," the statement said. "We also want to thank our team for all of their hard work and commitment to our patients during this time. The community's well-being has always remained our top priority."  

The hospitals said billing was on hold so there would be no penalties for late payments.
