BOWLING GREEN -- The Medical Center at Bowling Green is notifying
5,418 patients whose medical information may have been breached when a
computer hard drive was stolen.

The computer hard drive was taken from the hospital's mammography

Hospital officials learned the hard drive was missing on April 1.

"Upon learning that it was missing, we immediately conducted a

criminal matter, we reported it to the Bowling Green Police," said
Doris Thomas, vice president.
