(Radio Iowa) – A former Cedar Rapids hospital employee has been fined a thousand dollars and sentenced to five years of probation for what the judge described as weaponizing her EX-boyfriend’s medical records. Forty-one-year-old Jennifer Lynne Bacor, who now lives in Las Vegas, was a patient care technician at a Cedar Rapids hospital where her former boyfriend was treated in 2017.

Bacor admits she used her login credentials to look at her ex’s health data several times, even though he was not one of her patients. She shared the image of one of his injuries with someone else. That person then used Facebook messenger to send the image to the ex-boyfriend and others — along with taunting emojis and text, according to prosecutors.

Stuart Fire and Rescue personnel responded at around 6:05-p.m. Saturday, to a reported corn crib fire off of 272^nd Street. While en route Stuart Fire requested Redfield fire to assist due to the location and dry conditions. Upon arrival fire crews found a fully involved corn crib along with a boat and a grain bin containing random items that were all also fully involved. Crews made a quick knock down and extinguished the fire before it could spread to any other surrounding exposures.

Stuart police also provided assistance at the scene. There were no injuries reported.

Atlantic, IA — Officials with Cass Health in Atlantic report, beginning Monday, June 28, 2021, the Cass Health Main Entrance and Parking Lot A will be closed temporarily due to construction.
Crews will be replacing the driveway to the building, and the work is expected to continue through October. Cass Health Chief Financial Officer Abbey Stangl says “There’s never a great time to close your main parking lot and entrance, but we chose to do this work during the summer and early fall so that we could have it wrapped up prior to any inclement weather this winter.” Stangl says “The goal of this portion of construction is to improve our patients’ safety and ease of access into the building. While we hate to inconvenience anyone, the long-term gain will be worth it.”

While the parking lot and entrance are closed, all patients and visitors should use Emergency Drive to access parking lots B and C. Patients and visitors should use the Emergency entrance; PT, OT, Speech, and Radiology patients can use the Rehabilitation Services entrance. Free valet parking is available Monday through Friday from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm.
