Kettering Health Restores Radiation Oncology Services Following Cyberattack
May 28, 2025 - 03:00
Less than a week after a cyberattack prompted the Ohio-based health system to temporarily suspend several care services, cancer patients can once again receive radiotherapy treatments. The recent disruption raised significant concerns for those relying on critical cancer care, as the health system worked diligently to address the security breach and restore operations.
The swift recovery reflects the health system's commitment to patient safety and care continuity. Following the incident, Kettering Health implemented enhanced security measures to safeguard patient information and prevent future attacks. With radiation oncology services back online, patients can resume their treatment plans, alleviating anxiety for many who rely on these essential therapies.
Health officials emphasized the importance of cybersecurity in healthcare, particularly as medical facilities increasingly depend on digital systems for patient care. The restoration of these services marks a significant step forward in rebuilding trust and ensuring that patients receive the necessary support during their cancer treatment journey.
