Whitman Hospital & Medical Clinics, located in Colfax, Washington, experienced a cyberattack on February 28, 2025, disrupting internal computer systems. The hospital detected the breach on Friday and has since engaged a cybersecurity firm to mitigate the attack. While the identity of the perpetrator remains unknown, the hospital and its associated clinics continue to operate, though patients may face delays.
As of March 3, internal systems remain offline, affecting operations but not halting care. The hospital has been providing regular updates via Facebook, assuring the community that services are still available. It is unclear whether patient data has been compromised, and officials have not disclosed the attack's nature. Efforts to restore systems are ongoing as the hospital prioritizes patient care during the disruption.
