I read an article in The Press in May reporting that Kootenai Health disclosed a medical record breach in March. The personal, financial and medical diagnosis of thousands of patients was exposed. In August, I was informed that I was among those affected. The letter stated that it was from Kootenai Health but was actually from a company in Illinois.
