UPGRADES THE TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND CYBERSECURITY TECHNOLOGY ACROSS THE VANDALIA HEALTH NORTH REGION TO HEALTHCARE STANDARDS THAT WILL ALLOW SAFE DELIVERY OF PATIENT DATA PROTECTION. - MON HEALTH MEDICAL CENTER IS REQUESTING $8.1 MILLION IN FISCAL YEAR 2026 CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING TO MODERNIZE CRITICAL TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND STRENGTHEN CYBERSECURITY PROTECTIONS ACROSS THE VANDALIA HEALTH NORTH REGION. THIS PROJECT WILL BENEFIT SEVEN HOSPITALS AND MORE THAN 50 AMBULATORY SITES THAT RELY ON SECURE, RELIABLE TECHNOLOGY TO DELIVER PATIENT CARE. MUCH OF THE CURRENT INFRASTRUCTURE IS OVER 10 YEARS OLD AND INCREASINGLY PRONE TO OUTAGES, CREATING RISKS TO PATIENT SAFETY AND CARE CONTINUITY. ESSENTIAL CLINICAL FUNCTIONS—INCLUDING PATIENT DOCUMENTATION, DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING, AND ORDERING OF LABORATORY TESTS AND MEDICATIONS—DEPEND ON THIS INFRASTRUCTURE. AGING SYSTEMS ALSO LIMIT THE ORGANIZATION’S ABILITY TO IMPLEMENT MODERN CYBERSECURITY SAFEGUARDS, LEAVING SENSITIVE PATIENT DATA VULNERABLE TO POTENTIAL CYBER THREATS. THE PROPOSED INVESTMENT WILL UPGRADE CORE NETWORK SYSTEMS AND DEPLOY ADVANCED CYBERSECURITY MEASURES, INCLUDING NETWORK ELECTRONICS, TELEPHONY SYSTEMS, SEGMENTATION STRATEGIES, FIREWALLS, CYBERVAULT BACKUP TECHNOLOGY, AND CABLING IMPROVEMENTS. THESE ENHANCEMENTS WILL IMPROVE SYSTEM RELIABILITY, REDUCE DOWNTIME, AND ENABLE THE SECURE TRANSMISSION AND STORAGE OF PATIENT INFORMATION. BY BRINGING INFRASTRUCTURE UP TO HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY STANDARDS, THIS PROJECT WILL ENSURE THE SAFE, EFFICIENT DELIVERY OF CARE WHILE PROTECTING PATIENT DATA FROM INCREASINGLY SOPHISTICATED CYBERATTACKS. THE PROJECT REPRESENTS A CRITICAL STEP TOWARD SUSTAINING HIGH-QUALITY HEALTHCARE SERVICES AND SAFEGUARDING DIGITAL HEALTH SYSTEMS ACROSS THE REGION.
