Hotel-Dieu Grace Healthcare officials say they are back to “more normal operations” following months of work to restore systems in the wake of a devasting cyberattack in October 2023.

“Thanks to the continuing efforts of IT, clinical, and back-office teams we are confident that the risks have been mitigated,” HDGH officials said Thursday in a news release.

Five southwestern Ontario hospitals — Erie Shores HealthCare, Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare, Windsor Regional Hospital, Sarnia’s Bluewater Health and Chatham-Kent Health Alliance — along with TransForm Shared Service Organization, which runs each of their IT and supply chain systems, were targeted in the attack.

In November, CEO Bill Marra said all in-patient and out-patient services at Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare were continuing to operate despite the attack.

But corrective work has been ongoing and most recently HDGH’s financial and security systems were brought online, resulting in more normal operations, according to officials.
