PATIENT NOTICE
On October 15, 2009, a theft occurred at Highland Community Hospital. Radiology films, that had been scanned into the hospital's computer system and were scheduled to be destroyed, were taken from the facility. Less than 300 films were taken and they ranged in dates from February 17, 1997 to May 11, 2008.
