The two ex-employees, Tanganica Corbett and Kevin Weaver, have been indicted in a federal case. Prosecutors claim the pair accessed and sold patient records for personal gain with malicious intent.
The two employees’ illegal activity began in January 2012 and lasted two years, according to court filings. Both employees left their jobs in May 2014.
The hospital declined to comment on the pending lawsuit and did not confirm how many patients were affected.
