Data breaches continue to dog hospitals across the country, with facilities in California, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina and Ohio responding to incidents over the past month.

So far this year, at least 32 hacker-caused breaches have hit health care providers, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights reports. Close to 65 percent of health care organizations surveyed reported some kind of information security incident over the past two years, reported the Pomenon Institute, an information-security think tank.

Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara County recently celebrated the opening of a 152,000-square-foot structure built to comply with state seismic standards.

“In 1994, the State of California passed an unfunded mandate that (required) hospitals to be retrofitted to withstand a 6.0 earthquake,” CEO Ronald Werft explained at a ceremony held Aug. 15. “We looked at this as an opportunity to build a new hospital … We are grateful to the community for supporting this effort,” Werft said.
