You need to be more public about these abuses. Post on FB, write to the Ellsworth American and apprise people that your privacy was violated by 4 employees "at a major local medical provider", advising people of their medical privacy rights under federal and state law. I was a Privacy Officer at that place, so I know for sure that these actions are listed under "causes for termination". Did they fire them? Can they 'guarantee' these 4 employees will never again have access to medical data? Find out if their commitment to employee discipline policy is greater that their commitment to patient medical privacy, and publicly report the results.
Unfortunately you can't sue for these kind of things. The only thing they can do is fire the 4 employees involved. You can in turn threaten to do harm to the hospital's reputation.
