Patients of Rockhill Women’s Center are being urged to stay vigilant following allegations of financial fraud tied to a former employee, according to the Johnson County District Attorney’s Office.
💳 A Close Call During a Life-Changing Moment
Dingxiang Du, who was preparing to welcome her baby girl two years ago, recalled how a bank alert saved her from potential theft.
“The first one said they had declined a transaction… the other informed me that they thought my bank account might have been compromised,” Du said.
Du acted quickly and didn’t lose money, but she later learned she may have been one of multiple victims of an alleged fraud scheme linked to Wendy Susan Hopkins.
⚖️ Former Staffer Charged With 48 Crimes
Hopkins, who reportedly worked at Rockhill Women’s Center, is now facing:
-
48 criminal counts, including:
-
Identity theft
-
Computer crime
-
Forgery
-
Theft
-
Mistreatment of an elder person
-
A 13-page complaint filed in Johnson County outlines the case, stating that 12 people—potentially including patients of the OB/GYN clinic—were affected.
Hopkins is being held on $500,000 bond, and her next court appearance is scheduled for Wednesday, July 9.
🚨 What Patients Should Do
The DA’s office is advising any patient of Rockhill Women’s Center who experienced financial card fraud between September 2022 and November 2023 to contact their local law enforcement.
Despite being potentially defrauded, Du says she never heard from the clinic:
“I also know it’s not everybody’s fault in the clinic,” she added.
📞 Still No Comment
As of the weekend, both Rockhill Women’s Center and Hopkins’ attorney had not responded to media inquiries.
🔒 A Wake-Up Call
For Du, the experience was eye-opening:
“Maybe I should be more careful about this in the future,” she said.
If you’re a former or current patient of Rockhill Women’s Center, now’s the time to check your records—and report any suspicious activity.
