Cyberattack has halted chemotherapy, mammogram and screening appointments, and led to 300 staff being furloughed or reassigned. The UVM Health Network is a six-hospital, home-health and hospice system, which encompasses more than 1,000 physicians, 2,000 nurses and other clinicians in Vermont and northern New York. The cyberattack was first launched the week of Oct. 25, with the UVM Medical Center being hit the hardest, according to local reports. The hospital network said it has developed plans to ensure patients receive needed cancer treatments for the next several days.
