Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE: THC) experienced a cybersecurity incident last week. The Company immediately suspended user access to impacted information technology applications, executed extensive cybersecurity protection protocols, and quickly took steps to restrict further unauthorized activity.

Efforts to restore impacted information technology operations continue to make important progress. While there was temporary disruption to a subset of acute care operations, the Company’s hospitals remained operational and continued to deliver patient care safely and effectively, utilizing well-established back-up processes. At this time, critical applications have largely been restored and the subset of impacted facilities has begun to resume normal operations.

In parallel, the Company immediately launched an investigation of the incident, which is currently ongoing. The Company is taking additional measures to protect patient, employee and other data, as appropriate, in response to this incident.

Tenet is grateful to its physicians, nurses and staff for their dedication to safely care for patients as the Company works to resolve this matter.
