The discovery was made Monday morning at the Nashville Center Point Church of the Nazarene off 54th Avenue. A homeless man said he saw someone in a pickup truck do donuts in the church parking lot around 9:00 p.m. Sunday, before dumping the documents in the backyard of the church. "It shocked me. I mean what kind of people do that kind of stuff?" said church caretaker Richard Urquhart. "They had to be sick." The documents came from the now defunct and bankrupt Nursing Visioned Medical Services group, which once set up shop in Hendersonville. NVMS used to provide neurophysiological monitoring services for thousands of medical centers and patients across the Southeast. "They had lots of problems," said a former employee reached by phone Monday morning. "They (the owners) left and didn't leave any forwarding information." Court documents show NVMS filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in March 2008 before finally filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January 2009. The owner, Sean McCracken and his wife, business manager Melissa McCracken were nowhere to be found. A Hendersonville home address listed in addition to the Bluegrass Commons Boulevard office location was no longer valid. Someone living at the home said the McCrackens haven't lived in the house in four years. Maryland-based Impulse Monitoring, Inc. bought the assets to NVMS last year when they filed bankruptcy. They said they are not responsible for the patient information because the services NVMS provided were one-time services. Impulse said they are concerned with the compromised private information of employees, most of whom they hired when they bought the assets in 2009. "Those records then essentially remain the responsibility of NVMS, but of course it was bankrupt," said Shannon Gregory, general counsel for Impulse Monitoring, who is now warning former NVMS employees about the compromised information. "So I am at a loss for how it became to be dumped in this way." Sean McCracken contacted NewsChannel5 following our first broadcast of the story on Monday at 6:00 p.m. He said the documents were left in the hands of a former physician and Impulse Monitoring. He said he had no idea they'd been dumped until someone called him. Tune into NewsChannel 5 at 10:00 p.m. for the latest details on this story.
