Champions Golf Event Promises to Provide a Boost for North County

By Stu Durando, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The initial pitch for St. Louis to host a tournament on the PGA Tour Champions was made with a stipulation, and it was important enough that organizers weren’t willing to bend.

The event was to be held at Norwood Hills Country Club or it wouldn’t be held.

Although busy through the years, the facility has not hosted a major professional tournament since 1973. But the selection of Norwood Hills, which is in Jennings, was about more than golf.

It was about bringing a charity event to north St. Louis County and pumping money into organizations and the community.

“Creating this was really contingent upon holding it in North County,” said Nick Ragone, executive vice president for Ascension. “That was the one condition we had as we started discussions. The tour came out and took a look and understood the vision.”

David Toms gets emotional after first win in three years

David Toms hits a tee shot on the second hole during the final round of the Ascension Charity Classic.

Dilip Vishwanat

A golf course with a pedigree that almost demands a quality winner received one in the PGA Tour Champions’ inaugural Ascension Charity Classic on Sunday, when a man with a PGA Championship and a U.S. Senior Open on his résumé prevailed.

David Toms, whose 13 PGA Tour victories include a PGA in 2001, defeated Dicky Pride on the first playoff hole at Norwood Hills Country Club in St. Louis, site of Ben Hogan’s 1948 PGA Championship victory, the second of his nine career majors.

It also was the site of the Greater St. Louis Golf Classic in 1972 and ’73, won by World Golf Hall of Famers Lee Trevino and Gene Littler. And to boot, another Hall of Famer, Kathy Whitworth, won three straight LPGA events there.

Toms shot a five-under-par 66 on Sunday to cap 10-under 203 total, a number that was matched when Pride made a 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to send it to a playoff. Returning to the 18th, Toms won with a tap-in par, while Pride missed the green and left his 20-foot par putt an inch short.

“I still work hard. It’s tough,” an emotional Toms said in the wake of his first victory since winning the Senior Open in 2018. “Guys prepare every week. They play great. It means a lot, obviously. It means a lot. I felt good all week here. It felt like a PGA Tour event with the crowds and everything, the buildout.

“I was worried early in the week. The golf course was really soft and with the zoysia fairways it was playing crazy long. It just got faster and faster, and I started driving the ball really well. My speed was better today with the putter, too. I didn’t make everything, but I felt good over it, which is key for me.”

Toms emerged from a leader-board logjam with birdies at 12 and 13 to get to 10 under and a one-stroke lead that held up until Pride pulled even on the last hole of regulation. A PGA Tour Champions rookie at 52, Pride already has a victory on his record, at the Mitsubishi Electric Classic in May.

“It was a good week, but it was a bad playoff,” Pride said.

The good-week sentiment was widely shared. A course awash in history was rewarded with a strong winner as well as a remarkable performance from St. Louis native Jay Haas, who at 67 shot his age by holing a 15-foot birdie putt at 18.

“That's a pretty cool way to finish off the week,” said Haas, who finished one shot out of the playoff in a tie for third with Woody Austin. “I'm pleased. It's such an easy place to play. Airport's right here, hotels, baseball games, fans are great. There's so many positives here in St. Louis.. I told somebody I wish it was 15 years earlier when I was a little more in my prime, but I'll be back next year. So hopefully this is a long-running event.”

PGA Tour Champions Schedule 2024

Pga tour champions tournament details, mitsubishi electric championship.

Tournament History

Originally named the MONY Tournament of Champions, the event was played in California, Mexico, and Puerto Rico before finding a stable home in Hawaii. The inaugural tournament took off in 1984 when Orville Moody claimed a 7-stroke win over Dan Sikes.

Since then, the name has changed on eight occasions, with the current title sponsor, Mitsubishi, the longest-serving partner. The lush fairway and ocean backdrop of Haualalai golf club has been on the Senior PGA Tour schedule since 2006.

The Kona-based golf course is a par 72 design and measures 7,117 yards off the back tees on an average day.

⛳️ Fun Fact: When Senior Golf Source polled the PGA Tour Champions caddies, this was their favorite location, with Pebble Beach in a close second.

Chubb Classic

The Chubb Classic debuted in 1988 as the Aetna Challenge and was played at The Club at Pelican Bay until 1990. Gary Player , a fellow citizen of South Africa (like me), won the 1988 edition. And another compatriot, Harold Henning, finished second in the 1989 vintage, two strokes behind Gene Littler.

The tournament has featured at 12 golf courses since its inception, with the latest change in 2021. The organizers switched the venue to the Tiburon Black Course, designed by Australian Greg Norman. The Tiburon Black course is a par 72 layout reaching 6,945 yards off the back tees.

Our team particularly loves this course in Naples because of its idyllic location near beaches and plenty of sunshine in southwest Florida. However, be prepared; the Ritz Carlton is on the property, and staying here tends to come at a hefty price.

Trophy Hassan II

The Trophy Hassan II tournament is older than the PGA Tour Champions itself. The first event teed off in 1971, called the Moroccan Grand Prix, which saw Orville Moody defeat Jerry Heard by 2 strokes.

Prince Moulay Rachid hosts the event in honor of his father, Hassan II, and it is played at the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam. The tournament was removed from the schedule between 1986 to 1990 but returned in 1991 when Vijay Singh defeated the late Payne Stewart in a playoff.

The Royal Golf Dar Es Salam is situated on a 440-hectare estate, winding through cork oak forests, and is littered with lakes and bunkers.

Cologuard Classic

The Cologuard Classic is the third event on the annual calendar and is one of the newest editions of the Tour. It was launched in 2015 at the Omni Tucson National in Arizona as the Tuscon Conquistadores Classic. The name changed to its current form in 2018.

Marco Dawson is the first name on the silverware after bagging the inaugural title in 2015 by 2 strokes over Barty Bryant. The Omni Tucson National reaches 7,328 yards off the back tees with a total par rating of 73.

Hoag Classic

The first tee shot in the Hoag Classic was struck in 1995, but back then was known as the Toshiba Senior Classic. The name remained in 2005 when “senior” was dropped from the title and became the Toshiba Classic. Toshiba continued as the title sponsor until 2018 when Hoag took over.

The William F. Bell designed Newport Beach Country Club is the host golf course and has set the stage for several fierce battles since its inception. Bob Murphy and Jay Sigel entered the record books in 1997 when the duo went 9 holes in a playoff before the winner was decided.

Newport Country Club is a par 72 golf course which is not as long as some on tour, measuring 6618 yards off the Championship tees.

The Galleri Classic

The Galleri Classic entered the Tour Champions fray in 2023, holding its first outing at the Dinah Shore course at the Mission Hills Country Club, Coachella Valley, California. The Par 72 golf course played 7,112 yards for the Galleri on average.

David Toms surged to victory in the inaugural version of this tournament played in 2023, beating Steven Alker by 4 shots.

Invited Celebrity Classic

Las Colinas Country Club in Irving, Texas, hosted the ClubCorp Classic in 2022, adding a new event to the Tour schedule. The event name changed to the Invited Celebrity Classic after the company rebranding in 2022.

The course measures 6973 yards off the black tees, and 71 is a par score. Scott Parel from Michigan was the first to get his hands on the trophy in the 2022 edition. Mark Hensby from Australia took the second iteration of the event in 2023 with a 54-hole score of 12 under par.

Mitsubishi Electric Classic

The PGA Tour Champions made the Mitsubishi Electric Classic a reality in 2013. However, its original title was the Greater Gwinnett Championship. Bernhard Langer won the inaugural event in 2013 by 3 strokes over Tom Lehman and Tom Pernice Jr.

TPC Sugarloaf in Duluth, Georgia, has put on the spectacle since it teed off over a decade ago. The 27-hole facility was designed by “The Great White Shark,” Greg Norman. The Stables/ Meadows are the usual combination for tournament events, but it may change depending on the years.

The Meadows and Stables 18-hole combination totals 7322 yards off the back tees and is a par 72 layout.

Insperity Invitational

The Insperity Invitational has cemented its place as a mainstay on the annual sporting calendar in Houston. It started in 2004 as the Administaff Small Business Classic and immediately entertained us. Larry Nelson crawled his way back from 7 shots down to force a playoff with Hale Irwin.

Nelson bagged the title, and the tournament holds firm two decades on. Since Administaff changed their name in 2008, the event is now the Insperity Invitational. It was initially played at Augusta Pines, Texas, but is now hosted by The Woodlands Country Club Tournament Course.

The par 72 Tournament Course at Woodlands Country Club extends 7025 yards off the back tee. John Daly set the par 3 16th alight in the 1994 Shell Houston Open when he pured a 6 iron off the tee and drained the shot for a memorable ace.

Principal Charity Classic

The Principal Charity Classic resumes regulation tour play in June after back-to-back Majors in May. Des Moines, Iowa, has welcomed professionals with open arms since the event commenced in 2001 as the Allianz Championship.

Glen Oaks Country Club in West Des Moines hosted the inaugural showing of the Principal Charity Classic. It moved twice between 2001 and 2012 before finding solace at the Wakonda Club, which has held the Classic since 2013. Wakonda totals 6,847 yards off the back tees and is a par 72. 

Jim Thorpe won the first-ever Principal Charity Classic beating Gil Morgan by 2 strokes in 2001. Jay Haas has lifted the trophy three times, more than any of his peers.

American Family Insurance Championship

Tour Champions professionals stay in the midwest for the American Family Insurance Championship played at University Ridge Golf Club, Madison, Wisconsin. Steve Stricker is the tournament host, and 78 of the tour’s best players are penciled in on the tee sheet.

The Championship was born in 2016, and Kirk Triplett claimed a 2 shot victory over Bart Bryant and Mike Goodes. University Ridge is a par 72 Robert Trent Jones Jr design and is slightly lengthy for senior tour pros, stretching 7,259 yards. 

The front nine is relatively open, while the back nine is lined with trees and demands course management from tee to green.

Dick’s Sporting Goods Open

After a stint in the midwest, the tour heads east to Upstate New York, where the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open awaits. En-Joie has gracefully hosted the event since its inception in 2007, where R.W. Eaks triumphed over Bruce Vaughan by 3 strokes.

En-Joie is a 7,030-yard track off the back tees, and 72 is a par score for the round. The course was originally designed and built by local businessman George F. Johnson, but upgrades were made in 1998 and 1999. The greens transformed from flat round greens into challenging large and undulated dance floors.

We particularly “enjoy” the En-Joie course for its local, friendly vibe and beautiful rolling hills. While it’s not nearly as polished as most of the courses on this tour, we found it to be one of the best for spectators, with free tickets and giveaways.

Boeing Classic

The Boeing Classic has become a permanent fixture on the PGA Tour Champions and Seattle sporting calendar. 2005 saw the first tee shot struck in the tournament when it was the Boeing Greater Seattle Classic.

David Eger claimed the inaugural trophy winning by 3 strokes over Tom Kite. However, in 2007, fans were treated to the largest contingent of players in a Tour Champions playoff. Seven players ended the tournament on 9 under par. Zimbabwean Denis Watson would eventually steal the show as he drained an eagle putt on the second playoff hole to bag the crown.

The Jack Nicklaus-designed Club at Snoqualmie Ridge has hosted the tournament since it launched, frequently challenging the Pros. The 7,264-yard layout with a par score of 72 suits long hitters given its wide fairways. It also treats you to spectacular mountain and water vistas.

Shaw Charity Classic

The Tour makes its way north to Calgary, Canada, in mid-August for the Shaw Charity Classic, a mainstay on the schedule since 2013. Although the course plays a par 72 for amateurs, they corrected the rating to a par 70 for the Shaw Charity Classic.

Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club has welcomed the tour since 2013, measuring 7,158 yards from the black tees. In addition, the course sits at 3,590 feet above sea level, adding extra yards to each shot. Rocco Mediate lifted the first trophy in 2013, obliterating the field by 7 strokes.

The Ally Challenge

Grand Blanc Township in Michigan is the venue for the Ally Challenge, one of the newer events on tour. The PGA Tour Champions arrived at the Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club in 2018 when Paul Broadhurst became the first champion.

The 7,112-yard golf course is a par 72 layout designed by Joe Lee and is relatively long for senior tour players, and is lined with trees. This demands a combination of driving distance, fairways, and greens in regulation.

Ascension Charity Classic

The Ascension Charity Classic is another tournament in its infancy on tour. It teed off for the first time in 2021 when David Toms beat Dicky Pride in a playoff. The St Louis-based Norwood Hills has hosted the first two Ascension Charity Classics on their West course, which is no stranger to tournament golf.

Norwood Hills plays 6,992 yards, and 71 is considered a par score. The fairways are lined with trees and demand an accurate tee shot to attack the flag on approach. In addition, 5 lakes are scattered throughout the links and come into play for half the round.

Sanford International

The tour returns to the Midwest in September for the Sanford International, another relatively young event. 2018 saw the Sanford International debut, and Steve Stricker showed his class to defeat Tim Petrovic and Jerry Smith by 4 shots.

Minnehaha Country Club is the host venue, littered with water hazards and tree-lined fairways. It is not the longest golf course on tour, reaching 6,530 yards off the burgundy tees, but it does demand precision to walk away with a low round.

Pure Insurance Championship

As we enter the back end of the season, the Tour Champions journeys to the West Coast for the Pure Insurance Championship. The famed Pebble Beach is the host venue for the event, originally titled the First Tee Open. However, organizers have changed the name on five occasions.

The Pure Insurance Championship became the official title in 2017 and has remained since. Craig Stadler lifted the cup in the inaugural event in 2004, winning by 3 strokes over Jay Haas.

Constellation Furyk & Friends

The Constellation Furyk and Friends event kicked off in 2021 as a way for the Jim and Tabitha Furyk Foundation to raise funds for at-risk children. Timuquana Country Club puts on the event, which was first won by Phil Mickelson in the 2020-21 season.

The Country Club is located a short distance from my base for two years when I was navigating the high seas. Timuquana measures 6,949 yards from the back tees and is a standard Par 72 layout. Finally, its tree-lined fairways leave little margin for error, demanding accuracy off the tee.

If you’re traveling with family, Furyk & Friends is one of our favorites to bring the kids. In 2023, the tournament went all out with food trucks, a petting zoo, free ice cream, and more!

SAS Championship

The SAS Championship has featured on the PGA Tour Champions since 2001, played at the Prestonwood Country Club in Cary, North Carolina. Bruce Lietzke won the inaugural outing and went back to back in 2002.

The 54-hole complex opts for the Meadow and Highlands combination of courses for the SAS, playing 7,237 yards and carrying a 72-par total.

Dominion Energy Charity Classic

The Dominion Energy Charity Classic is the first playoff round for the Charles Schwab Cup. The top 72 players on the money list will be invited to the no-cut event after the SAS Championship.

The Country Club of Virginia in Richmond has hosted the event since it teed off in 2016 when Scott McCarron bagged the title. The venue is dominated by tree-lined fairways and the odd water hazard, making accuracy vital for success.

Simmons Bank Championship

The top 54 golfers on the money list after the Dominion Energy Charity Classic progress to the Simmons Bank Championship. The penultimate event of the year is hosted by Pleasant Valley Country Club, a parkland golf course with lightning-quick greens.

The tournament has a new headline sponsor this year after the partnership with TimberTech expired at the end of 2023.

Charles Schwab Cup Championship

The entire season has built up to this moment, where the remaining top 36 players are the only ones invited. The tour travels to Phoenix Country Club, Arizona, for the Charles Schwab Cup Championship.

Puerto Rico, Oklahoma, and California all hosted the event before its switch to Arizona in 2014. The initial Charles Schwab Cup Championship was called the New York Life Champions played in Dorado, Puerto Rico, with Mike Hill winning the first two editions.

The parkland-styled Phoenix Country Club has hosted the cup since 2017,  measuring 6,764 yards, and it is a par 71.

5 PGA Tour Champions Major Tournaments

Regions tradition.

Golf Course: Greystone G&CC, Birmingham, AL Tournament Purse: $2,500,000 Dates: May 10 – 12, 2024

Past champions.

The Regents Tradition was first played in 1989 at the Desert Mountain Cochise course. Don Bies won the inaugural event by a shot over my compatriot Gary Player. Since 2016, the Founders Course at Greystone Golf and Country Club has remained the host venue.

It is the first major on the calendar, typically occurring in the second week of May after the Mitsubishi Electric Classic.

KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship

Golf Course: Fields Ranch East, Frisco, TX Tournament Purse: $3,500,000 Dates: May 25 – May 28, 2023

Like the PGA Championship, the senior edition is hosted at a different golf course every year. However, the tournament was hosted at Dunedin Golf Club in Florida from 1945 to 1962. In addition, the PGA National Golf Club hosted the affair from 1982 to 2000.  

The 2023 edition is set down for Fields Ranch in Frisco, Texas after Steven Alker won the 2022 edition at Harbor Shores in Michigan. The KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship is the oldest senior golf tournament on the calendar, with Jock Hutchinson winning the first event in 1937 on 7 over par. 

U.S. Senior Open

Golf Course: SentryWorld, Stevens Point, WI Tournament Purse: $4,000,000 Dates: Jun 27 – Jun 30, 2024

The third PGA TOUR major of the season sees the pros vie for the coveted Francis D. Ouimet Memorial Trophy. The U.S. Senior Open is played at a different golf course every year.

Winged Foot hosted the first U.S. Senior Open in 1980, and Argentine Roberto De Vicenzo claimed a 4-stroke victory.

Bridgestone Senior Players Championship

Golf Course: Firestone Country Club, Akron, OH Tournament Purse: $3,500,000 Dates: Jul 11 – Jul 14, 2024

The penultimate PGA Tour Champions major hits our screens in mid-July 2024 when the Kaulig Companies Championship returns to Firestone Country Club. The South Course or the “Monster” as it is colloquially known, is the chosen track.

It measures 7,400 yards off the Championship tees and is a par 70, with only one par 5 on each nine. The course is best suited to long hitters, and Jerry Kelly will attempt to win here for the third time in four years.

The inaugural Kaulig Companies Championship went ahead in 1983 at Canterbury Golf Club in Beachwood, Ohio. Miller Barber was the first to etch his name onto the trophy defeating Gene Littler by one stroke.

Senior Open Championship

Golf Course: Carnoustie Links, Scotland Tournament Purse: $2,850,000 Dates: Jul 25 – Jul 28, 2024

The Senior Open Championship returns to Carnoustie for the first time since 2016. Englishman Paul Broadhurst walked away victorious on that weekend. This is the third time that ‘Car-nasty hosts the best in the seniors game, and Alex Čejka will look to defend the title he won at Royal Porthcawl in 2023.

Gale-force winds and rain always remain a threat. We will see plenty of punch shots on approach and bump and runs around the dance floor. The first official Senior Open Championship was played at Turnberry in 1987 as Neil Coles walked away with a one-stroke victory.

Padraig harrington earns third pga tour champions win at 2022 ascension charity classic, share this article.

Padraig Harrington is having a blast on the PGA Tour Champions.

In his first season on the senior circuit, the 51-year-old Irishman has now earned three wins, most recently Sunday at the 2022 Ascension Charity Classic. If you’re keeping track at home, that’s now two wins in Harrington’s last three starts after he previously claimed the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open in August and the U.S. Senior Open in June.

It wasn’t always pretty in the final round for Harrington, who almost lost the lead down the stretch after making three bogeys – as well as two key birdies – over his last six holes

“I had done the work today, hit four wedges pretty stiff, had four eagle putts on top of that, so I had done all the work, I just had to get to the clubhouse and sometimes that’s just not that easy,” said Harrington after his round.

Y.E. Yang played his way into contention and came up one-shot short in second at 13 under after a 5-under 66 in the final round. Steve Stricker finished in third at 12 under, followed by Bernhard Langer in fourth at 11 under. Clark Dennis, Ernie Els, Bob Estes, John Huston and Steven Alker all finished T-5 at 10 under.

Harrington is closing in on Alker in the Charles Schwab Cup Standings but still trails the 51-year-old from New Zealand, who also has three wins this year on the senior tour. Alker was victorious at the Rapiscan Systems Classic, Insperity Invitational and KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship, and has also lost in a pair of playoffs at the Mitsubishi Electric Championship and ClubCorp Classic.

The Champions tour is back in action later this week at the Sanford International at Minnehaha Country Club in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Regions Tradition: How to watch, storylines to follow and more

Change Text Size

This week, PGA TOUR Champions is in Birmingham, Alabama, for the Regions Tradition, the first of five senior major championships during the 2024 season.

The Champions Tour returns to Greystone Golf & Country Club for an eighth consecutive season where, should history serve as any indication, all signs point to Steve Stricker being a major contender once again this year. Not only has Stricker won this event three times, including the last two, but all three victories were by a margin of six strokes. Last year’s 23-under 265 supplanted the tournament’s low 72-hole score of 21-under 267 since moving to Greystone Golf & Country Club in 2016. Incidentally, that previous record Stricker replaced was the one he set in 2022.

This week's event will be contested over 72 holes compared to the typical 54-hole format on PGA TOUR Champions.

Ascension hospitals cyber attack: Here’s what we know

Third-party hired to assist with investigation.

Brandon Carr , Digital Content Producer

Ascension hospitals nationwide have been hit with a cyber attack.

The cyber attack on Wednesday made patients wait hours for service and care, especially for their medical procedures.

Ascension said they promptly detected the unusual activity on select technology network systems, which they believed was due to a cyber security event.

The network included 140 hospitals and dozens of senior living facilities in 19 states, including Michigan.

Officials say they’ll continue to investigate the situation as they responded immediately, initiated their investigation, and activated their remediation efforts.

“Our care teams are trained for these kinds of disruptions and have initiated procedures to ensure patient care delivery continues to be safe and as minimally impacted as possible. There has been a disruption to clinical operations, and we continue to assess the impact and duration of the disruption.” Ascension

A third-party expert has been engaged to assist in the investigation and remediation process, and the company has also notified the appropriate authorities.

“Together, we are working to fully investigate what information, if any, may have been affected by the situation. Should we determine that any sensitive information was affected, we will notify and support those individuals in accordance with all relevant regulatory and legal guidelines.” Ascension

Ascension has recommended that business partners temporarily suspend the connection to the environment. They will inform partners when it is appropriate to reconnect to their environment.

Ascension: 'We do not have a timeline' for networks to be restored after cyberattack

The nation's largest Catholic health system said it was postponing some elective procedures, tests and appointments “out of an abundance of caution” after a cyberattack earlier this week paralyzed Ascension's computer network and other technological systems.

The network continued to be disrupted Friday at all 140 Ascension hospitals nationally, including 15 in Michigan, and the St. Louis-based nonprofit hospital chain acknowledged "we do not have a timeline" for when it will be restored.

Ascension said it is working to investigate the source of the breach, contain it and restore its systems. In the meantime, many hospitals are diverting ambulances to other health care facilities "to ensure emergency cases are triaged immediately."

“Systems that are currently unavailable include our electronic health records system, MyChart (which enables patients to view their medical records and communicate with their providers), some phone systems, and various systems utilized to order certain tests, procedures and medications," Ascension's statement said .

Appointments that are "temporarily paused" during the outage will be rescheduled, and Ascension is urging patients who seek treatment at this time to:

• Bring notes detailing their symptoms and medical history to appointments.
• Bring a list of current medications and the prescription numbers or the prescription bottles to appointments so refills can be manually called in to pharmacies.

Employees noticed the computer network problems about 7 a.m. Wednesday, said three workers who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of job repercussions.

"There was a security concern, so they shut down the system," one physician told the Free Press at the time. "It's affecting everything."

Ascension, which also owns 40 senior living facilities, said it is working with  Mandiant , a cybersecurity consulting company, to investigate and help determine what information, if any, was compromised in the cyberattack.

More: Increasingly common, health care cyberattacks now even target patients with ransom

"Should we determine that any sensitive information was affected, we will notify and support those individuals in accordance with all relevant regulatory and legal guidelines," Ascension said in a statement.

CNN reported Friday that Black Basta ransomware was involved in the Ascension cyberattack, which involved hackers who tried to lock the health system's computer network and steal its data.

Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly common in health care , often affecting protected health information along with other data, such as account numbers, Social Security numbers, phone numbers and addresses.

In April, Cherry Street Services Inc., also known as Cherry Health, alerted 180,747 Michigan residents that their personal information had been compromised in a ransomware attack that occurred Dec. 21.

"Third-party forensic experts were retained to assist in an investigation of the nature and scope of the breach," said Danny Wimmer, press secretary for state Attorney General Dana Nessel. "While unable to pinpoint (the) root cause of the breach, through the investigation, Cherry was able to discern the types of data compromised: full name, address, date of birth, phone number, health insurance information, patient ID number, provider name, service date, diagnosis/treatment information, prescription information, financial account information and/or Social Security numbers, and the identity of the persons impacted."

And more than 1 million Michiganders were  affected by a cybersecurity breach  at Welltok Inc., a software company contracted to provide communication services for Corewell Health's southeastern Michigan properties, along with a healthy lifestyle portal for Priority Health, an insurance plan owned by Corewell. Though the breach occurred in May 2023, it wasn't until November 2023 that people were notified.

A  ransomware attack led McLaren Health Care to take down the computer network at its 14 Michigan hospitals in late August and early September 2023, affecting about 2.5 million patients. The health system acknowledged that the attack also could have leaked some patient data onto the dark web. A ransomware gang known as  BlackCat/AlphV  claimed responsibility, posting online that it stole six terabytes of McLaren's data.

In late August 2023, the University of Michigan  shut down its campus computer network  after a hacker got access to the personal information of students and applicants, alumni and donors, employees and contractors, as well as the personal health information of research study participants, and patients of the University Health Service and the School of Dentistry.

In Michigan, Ascension has 15 acute-care hospitals, but is in the midst of trying to close deals that would  split off eight of its southeastern Michigan hospitals  and combine them with Detroit-based Henry Ford Health. Additionally, three of its hospitals in mid-Michigan and northeastern Michigan, along with a stand-alone emergency center and nursing home,  are to be acquired  by Midland-based MyMichigan Health.

If those deals are completed, only the following Ascension Michigan hospitals will remain as part of the health system's national holdings:

• Ascension Allegan Hospital in Allegan
• Ascension Borgess Hospital in Kalamazoo
• Ascension Borgess-Lee Hospital in Dowagiac
• Ascension Borgess-Pipp Hospital in Plainwell

Ascension Hospital is still dealing with the aftermath of a massive nationwide "cybersecurity incident" and posted an update on Thursday evening.

Hear from a patient describe what it was like at the hospital when the attack happened

According to Ascension, they are still investigating and restoring their systems, and it will "take time to complete, and we do not have a timeline for completion."

Watch our story from Thursday below with a cyber security expert and other patients

The health system said there are many systems which are unavailable. They include:

• Electronic health records system
• MyChart (which enables patients to view their medical records and communicate with their providers),
• some phone systems
• Various systems utilized to order certain tests, procedures and medications

According to Ascension, they are in downtime protocols, and several hospitals are currently on diversion for emergency medical services. Those patients who have appointments should bring their appointment notes on their symptoms, a current list of medications and prescription numbers or the prescription bottles.

The health system is also pausing some non-emergent elective procedures, tests and appointments.

An ER doctor in the southeast Michigan system told us today they’ve been told to expect systems to be down for the next two weeks, They’ve had to override medication dispensing machines for patients.

'Migraine': How Ascension health cyberattack caused headache for doctors

Some patients told us on Facebook that Ascension’s staff is minimizing the impact. One tells us they’ve been to the ER twice in the last 12 hours and despite the computer issues, everyone is very helpful and caring.

“You can pretty much assume that Ascension is in scramble mode,” said Scott Bailey.

Scott Bailey with N1 Discovery is a Metro Detroit-based data security expert with extensive experience.

“We've done one of the largest healthcare data breaches in Michigan. We did one of the largest breaches of a public utility here in Michigan. So those were all also very significant on the forensic side. I was brought in on the Oklahoma City bombing. I did work on the Kwame Kilpatrick case. I’m a digital E-discovery digital consultant to the Attorney General’s office for the Flint Water Crisis,” explained Bailey.

“Is it possible that the breach is active right now still?” our Brian Abel asked.

“It certainly could be. When you think about Ascension, it is a massive organization in multiple states. Some threat actors, when they actually get into a system, they will be putting or trying to put backdoors into that system,” said Bailey.

In addition, some phone capabilities were down, along with "various systems utilized to order certain tests, procedures and medications.” Some "nonemergent" tests, appointments and procedures have been postponed and several hospitals were diverting ambulances to other emergency room facilities.

“Our care teams are trained for these kinds of disruptions and have initiated procedures to ensure patient care delivery continues to be safe and as minimally impacted as possible,” the spokesperson said.

The St. Louis-based Ascension said it detected “unusual activity” on some network systems Wednesday and federal authorities were immediately notified, the spokesperson said. Mandiant, a cybersecurity firm, was brought in to assist with the investigation and remediation process.

“We are working around the clock with internal and external advisors to investigate, contain and restore our systems following a thorough validation and screening process. Our investigation and restoration work will take time to complete, and we do not have a timeline for completion.”

Ascension said it is working to uncover what data was affected.

“Should we determine that any sensitive information was affected, we will notify and support those individuals in accordance with all relevant regulatory and legal guidelines,” the spokesperson said.

The organization is also asking business partners to disconnect from Ascension technology systems until the issue is resolved.

The nonprofit Ascension, the nation's largest chain of Catholic hospitals, has 140 hospitals in 19 states, including eight in North Florida. The network also operates 40 senior living facilities and multiple health care clinics across the country.
