Central Jersey medical practice reports records breach

Posted on November 16, 2017 by Dissent

We now know the name of a medical practice that was impacted by the theft of patient records in September. The records had reportedly been sold at the time by the thief. Mike Deak reports:

A medical practice with offices in East Brunswick and Franklin is notifying past patients that 13 boxes of medical records have been taken from an off-site storage facility.
