Matt French, vice president of business development and marketing at Monroe Hospital in Bloomington, said the 32-bed hospital has received about a dozen calls since the phone book was released last week from residents concerned about the misprinted number, the Bloomington Herald-Times reported Wednesday.

"Some say they are surprised," he said. "Others say they want to know how in the world it happened. We'd like to know as well."

"We'd like to work with the publisher to see if there's anything that can be done," he said. "But because the books are already out there, I'm not sure what that might be."

An AT&T corporate spokesman said he was investigating the origin of the mistaken number, which is the third listed for the hospital in the book.
