The nonprofit operator of Rehoboth McKinley Christian Hospital in Gallup issued a brief statement acknowledging “unauthorized activity” on its computer network.
Hospital spokeswoman Ina Burmeister says hospital operators have hired private investigators and taken other undisclosed measures to prevent further unauthorized activity.
The scope and consequences of the intrusion were unclear.
Former hospital employee Cassandra Martinez says she sought emergency services at the hospital on Feb. 7 and that hospital personnel were unable to access her online records.
A wave of digital assaults has been taking U.S. health care providers hostage as they contend with the COVID-19 pandemic.

A bill to shore up abortion rights in New Mexico by overturning a dormant 1969 ban on most abortion procedures has been approved by the Legislature, which is led by Democrats.
The state House passed the bill Friday and sent it to Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, who has said she will sign it. The initiative stands as a counterpoint to proposed abortion bans this year in several Republican-led legislatures.
If left in place, New Mexico s ban on most abortion procedures could go into effect if the U.S. Supreme Court eventually overturns the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling.
