Henry Ford is notifying affected patients and offering one year of free credit monitoring services.
The laptop was stolen on or around Sept. 24 from an unlocked urology office, according to a statement released to local media. Information on the laptop included name, address, date of birth, medical record number, type of treatment, e-mail address and phone number.
