ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A major hospital network in New Mexico was racing to fix a cybersecurity issue on Monday that forced it to send ambulances to other hospitals and left the state without an emergency department capable of treating the most serious injuries.
The University of New Mexico Health System told people not to show up at its main hospital in Albuquerque and has canceled appointments at its more than 30 clinics.
UNM Health System said it was working to resolve the issue, the extent and nature of which was not immediately clear.
The attack comes amid growing concern about the security of digital systems that underpin essential services, from banking to medical care.
UNM’s Health Sciences Center, the state’s largest academic medical center, is canceling classes and will be closed for the day, the university said.
The hospital network conducts about 900,000 outpatient visits and receives 100,000 emergency room visits each year, according to its website. It operates the state’s only Level 1 trauma center.

A violent altercation outside Winnipeg’s largest homeless shelter turned fatal days later, leaving staff and community members mourning the loss of a man who was well known to them.

Officers found the man in critical condition and rushed him to hospital, where he remained until his death on Tuesday Oct. 20.

The brother and sister brought their lawn chairs and blankets and hunkered down.
Roughly 90 minutes later, by their count, the next customers arrived.

MPI cuts off public parking downtown to prioritize staff mandated to return to office

Some commuters who work in downtown Winnipeg are frustrated after finding out they’re losing access to monthly parking spots in lots owned by Manitoba Public Insurance.
The Crown corporation has acquired parking spaces, currently managed by Impark for its staff, and is adding desks and renovating some floors at its Cityplace headquarters to prepare for more employees to return to the office full time, sources told the Free Press.
MPI, which owns the Cityplace complex and parkades within the tower and at 266 Hargrave St., is eliminating daily parking and reducing the number of non-MPI monthly parkers to “prioritize” parking availability for employees who work at the headquarters, spokeswoman Kristy Rydz said.
The changes will come into effect Nov. 1 for the 266 Hargrave parkade and Dec. 1 for the Cityplace tower parkade. The lots will become card-access only.

Province says Charleswood seniors day program slated to close will remain open

An adult day program set to close at the end of the month in Charleswood has been spared.
The provincial government announced Monday that is ensuring adult day programming for seniors continues in the same Charleswood space after Lions Housing Centres announced it would close once its lease expired.
“When families raised concerns about losing this important program, we listened and we acted,” Health, Seniors and Long-Term Care Minister Uzoma Asagwara said in a news release.
Deer Lodge Centre is assuming operations at the same Charleswood location with the goal of minimizing disruptions to programming, the release said.

It took until the very end of his introductory news conference Saturday — right around the 15-minute mark — before Connor Hellebuyck was finally asked the question that hockey fans back in Winnipeg were likely waiting for.
“Is there anything you’d like to say to Jets fans?” a reporter who covers Hellebuyck’s new team, the New Jersey Devils, put to him during the session held inside the Prudential Center in Newark.
A short pause followed.
“I mean, there’s a lot. There’s a lot that I need to say,” Hellebuyck began, no doubt raising plenty of eyebrows around here and the hockey world in general.
