Baptist Health employee charged with identity theft

By The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

Baptist Health has sent letters warning some patients that the hospital system's records may have been breached, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette has learned. The notification came after the arrest of a Baptist employee at a Wal-Mart on 25 counts of financial identity fraud.

The letters, which were mailed last week, follow the termination in late May of the employee, who, police say, worked at Baptist Health Medical Center-North Little Rock.

The employee, Tamara Hill, 30, of North Little Rock, was arrested May 30 at the Wal-Mart at 12001 Maumelle Blvd. in North Little Rock by North Little Rock police.

Ebony Flowers, 25, also of North Little Rock, was arrested as well, on three counts of identity fraud, police reports say.
