FILEGATE 2: The list of names revealed!

I have acquired the list of names and documents that a clinic employee from the Medical Records office took to her home and which has created a major issue for many of our tribal people. I wrote a blog about this issue two weeks ago after I attended an LCO Tribal Council meeting whereby our Chairman said he wasn’t going to release the names of the those persons whose rights were violated.

An undisclosed source from the tribal clinic provided me with the list of the names of those whose records were taken and a list of documents, letters, emails, etc. that were also taken to this persons home and found along with the records.

I don’t know at this point if it would be right to publicly print on the blog the names of these tribal members, but I do believe they have every right to know and to know immediately, so I will start reaching out and contacting those people whom I know personally and informing them that their records were taken.

Also, I have enlisted some help to print copies of this list and hand-deliver them to some of the other names that appear on here, in hopes that they can reach out and inform the others on the list. Also, if you are concerned whether your name is on this list, please Facebook message me or contact me via my website at votejoemorey.wix.com/votejoe and use the Contact Joe page and I will tell you simply either yes or no.

Eventually this list will be circulated throughout the community and what steps you all take from there is up to you, but I highly recommend that you don’t sit back and allow this to be swept under the rug. This is a very serious violation of the law and your HIPPA rights.

The list contains 229 names of our people and reaches across all walks of life here at LCO. There are names from many different families.

Also, there are extensive documents that were found at her residence including bills, invoices and other confidential information. There are even documents that were found that have nothing to do with the clinic, such as one titled, “LCO News Proposal.”

I will print this document list within a few days when I get time to scan it in and publish it here. I will continue to investigate this violation of so many rights and try to find out why she took these records home and who was it that ordered her to do it. We need to know who on the tribal council had ordered this to be done and what was their gain?
