Ridgecrest Regional Hospital in California took systems offline to investigate a cyber incident and later announced that departments and clinics could again be reached at their regular phone numbers.
Its Center Professional Pharmacy reported an internet outage that halted new prescription and refill processing; its latest update said software and electronic payments were working again, but phones remained down and staff faced a backlog. The pharmacy did not identify the outage's cause. The hospital has not provided a full system-restoration timeline or detailed any interruption to inpatient or emergency care.
