Lane County Health & Hu-
man Services (H&HS) , on July
24, announced that 49 boxes
containing 566 Community
Health Centers of Lane Coun-
ty patient medical information
fi les and 149 Lane County De-
velopmental Disabilities client
fi les were lost.
Contained within the lost
records were medical histories,
addresses, contact information,
and social security numbers.
On June 19, during a rou-
tine search, staff was unable to
locate the records in question.
Th e records had previously
been relocated by a moving
company to a storage facility
for temporary storage during
the renovation of the Char-
nelton Clinic.
Subsequent searches by mul-
tiple teams failed to locate the
records.
Analysis indicates the re-
cords may have been inad-
vertently destroyed as part of
routine document manage-
ment practice for non-medical
records. Because this cannot be
verifi ed at this time, the CHC
is obligated to provide notifi ca-
tion to patients and the public.
On Tuesday, July 24, H&HS
sent written notifi cation to all
patients and clients whose re-
cords could not be located and
for whom it had up-to-date
contact information.
H&HS immediately began
to review its policies and prac-
tices regarding records storage
and is taking steps to protect
against future incidents, in-
cluding obtaining specialized,
secure medical records storage
services.
To date, investigators have
yet to determine how the re-
cords were misplaced; however
there is no indication they were
stolen or that any of the infor-
mation has been compromised.
'H&HS encourages patients
and clients to regularly review
fi nancial statements and credit
reports to check to for unex-
pected items, ac-counts or ser-
vices.
H&HS will also reimburse
patients for up to 6-months of
membership to an ac-credited
credit monitoring services. Pa-
tients can check credit reports
online at www.annualcredit-
report.com, or by contacting
any of the following three com-
panies:

• TransUnion: 1-800-888-
4213, www.transunion.com
• Equifax: 1-800-685-1111,

If unusual activity is de-
tected, H&HS advises patients
to call the incident hotline at
1-833-404-0027, as well as the
appropriate authorities, such as
the Oregon Attorney General’s
Offi ce, the Federal Trade Com-

As part of the state’s coor-
dinated and comprehensive
wildfi re suppression eff orts,
and with funds allocated by
the federal government, 200
citizen-soldiers and citizen-air-
men from the Oregon National
Guard arrived at the Oregon
Public Safety Academy in Sa-
lem on Monday for a week-long
wildland fi refi ghter training
program.
Th e 200 fi refi ghters arriving
at the academy are in addition
to the 200 trained earlier this
month at Camp Rilea near
Warrenton, Ore.
Federal funds were allocat-
ed, at the request of state offi -
cials, to help prepare members
of the National Guard in case
their assistance will be needed
to support wildland fi refi ghting
eff orts around the state.
Th e week-long training is
being provided by the Ore-
gon Department of Public
Safety Standards and Training
(DPSST) and is the same train-
ing required of all public and
private wildland fi refi ghters.
Th is training the members of
the Oregon National Guard will
be receiving is oft en known as
“red card” training and consists
of both classroom and hands-
on sessions.
Classes include a wide vari-
ety of topics including safety
considerations, communica-
tions, protecting tribal artifacts,
fi re behavior, etc. Hands-on
sessions include fi re shelter de-
ployment, hand lines, gridding,
hand tool work, pumps, water
sources, and related skills.
DPSST’s Director Eriks Ga-
bliks said “all of these classes
combined will allow the citi-
zen-soldiers and citizen-air-
men to be safe and eff ective in
their work in case they are re-
quired this year to help support
the eff orts of wildland fi refi ght-
ers around the state.”
Th e Oregon National Guard
has supported wildfi re suppres-
sion eff orts, from the air and on
the ground, around the state in
recent years. In 2015, members
of the Oregon National Guard
assisted with wildfi re suppres-
sion eff orts in John Day and
Enterprise.
