HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A laptop computer stolen from a health care vendor contains the personal information of close to 10,000 patients of Hartford Hospital and VNA HealthCare, a home health care group.

Hospital officials say they learned of the theft on June 26, after it was reported in San Mateo, Calif. by an employee of Greenplum, a vendor that was performing some data analysis related to hospital readmissions.
