Ascension Via Christi in Kansas continues to use manual systems during disruption from cyberattack
TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) – Ascension Via Christi in Kansas continues to use manual systems during the ongoing disruption from the cyberattack on Wednesday, May 8.
Ascension Via Christi officials said they continue to work alongside industry-leading cybersecurity experts to safely restore systems across their network. Officials indicated please know their hospitals and facilities remain open and art providing patient care. Patients should continue to visit the regional updates portion of the webpage for the latest information on a state-by-state basis.
According to the regional update for Ascension Via Christi in Kansas, all Ascension Via Christi hospitals, physicians, offices and care sites across Kansas remain open and operational. Despite the challenges posed by the recent ransomware incident, patient safety continues to be their utmost priority. Their dedicated doctors, nurses and care teams are demonstrating thoughtfulness and resilience as they use manual and paper based systems during the ongoing disruption to normal systems.
They thank the community for their patience and understanding as they navigate this unexpected situation. Their commitment to health and safety of their community remains their highest priority.
Ascension Via Christi officials said restoring Electronic Health Record (EHR) access has been among the top priorities of their recovery process. They are encouraged to report positive developments in these efforts and can announce that they have successfully restored EHR access in their Florida, Alabama, Austin, Tennessee and Maryland markets.
Ascension Via Christi officials said based on what they have learned about this process to date, they are working toward completing EHR restoration across their entire ministry by the end of the week ending June 14.
Officials said as EHR is restored across the entirety of their networks, clinicians will be able to access patient records as they did prior to this incident. While these are promising developments in their recovery efforts, their investigation into this incident remains ongoing, along with the remediation of additional systems. This is a complex process, and it will still take time to complete.
Additionally, Ascension Rx retail, home delivery and specialty pharmacy sites are now open and able to meet prescription needs. This means that healthcare providers are able to transmit prescriptions electronically and can send prescriptions to Ascension Rx pharmacies for their patients.
Ascension Via Christi noted finally, they again want to thank their patients and community for their support through this time and to their dedicated clinicians who continue to provide quality care.

FRANKLIN, Kan. — A local museum offered an in-depth geology lesson.
The Miners Hall Museum presented “The Geology of Coal Mining” hosted by Andy Connolly, Larry Spahn, and David Jenkins.
This was the third and final show of the Little Balkans Coal Camp West Mineral exhibit.
The presentation explains the different types of rocks found in Kansas and goes in detail of how they got there.
Connolly also brought samples of rocks, minerals, and fossils from Kansas for the audience to pass around and inspect.
“You don’t need a fancy degree to be a scientist, you can go out in the field and find and identify rocks, minerals, and fossils. You can observe the natural way, the natural world, and really think about how the world has changed over millions of years. You don’t need a degree, you just need curiosity and a love for the outdoors,” said Andy Connolly, Kansas Geological Survey science communication specialist.
Connolly went on to talk about the three major influences on the geology of Kansas — ancient oceans that used to cover the land, the Rocky Mountains, and ice ages.
