TOLEDO, Ohio — EDITOR'S NOTE: The following story has been edited to clarify a distinction between Toledo Clinic and ProMedica-owned records at the building on Suder Avenue.
When Thursday's storm brought multiple tornadoes through southeast Michigan and northwest Ohio, an EF-2 tornado partially destroyed a local laboratory clinic on Suder Avenue in Point Place.
The building's destruction and winds as fast as 130 mph may have caused patient medical records and documents to blow across the affected area. The Toledo Clinic, which has doctor's offices in the building, is asking the public to return any medical document they find for proper disposal.
If you find any medical document, you are asked to return it to the Toledo Clinic main campus at 4235 Secor Road in Toledo.
You can also call Toledo Clinic's Risk Management/Compliance department at 419-479-5611 or 419-479-5441 so the organization can arrange to pick up the documents.
Additionally, Toledo Clinic told WTOL 11 those who find documents can drop them off at Washington Township Fire Station at 2469 Shoreland Avenue for proper disposal.
ProMedica also operates a specimen laboratory in the same building, but said in a statement to WTOL 11 that their medical records were almost entirely digital.
"No patient records or results were maintained in the ProMedica suite at that location," a representative said.
Following partial damage to the building, ProMedica said they contacted Toledo Police Department, who, alongside ProMedica Security, secured the facility until crews could transport all other materials to a secure location.
"We are confident that no ProMedica-owned patient information was compromised," they said.
