An update on the massive global computer outage that impacted Thompson: Our IT teams have worked tirelessly throughout the day restoring all critical areas of the hospital to full, operational status. In large part, the situation has been mitigated within our health system. However, we will work throughout the weekend on the remaining affected computers. We are grateful to our IT teams for their dedication and swift action, and to the community for your patience during this challenging time.

WE ARE OPEN. As you may have heard, many companies around the world are experiencing massive disruption in services linked to a global cybersecurity software update. Unfortunately, this has impacted Thompson Health as well. While we are functioning using downtime procedures, all departments within the hospital, primary care locations, and urgent care sites are fully operational and open to serve the community. However, there may be delays associated with this IT disruption which we are working diligently to fix as soon as possible; we apologize for any inconvenience.
