The hospital says there's no evidence the data has been misused for identity theft or fraud. Officials are notifying affected individuals and recommend placing fraud alerts on credit files and monitoring financial accounts. A dedicated hotline (877-580-4384) is available weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for questions about the incident.
