Hippa

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
WI
I am not sure what catagory this should be under.
I am off work due to an injury that did not occur at work. I am unable to drive.
I was in a public place with some family and a person came over to me and asked how long I was going to be off work. I asked her how she knew and she said a co worker of mine told her.
The management team is the only people I have talked to.
Is this a HIPPA violation and if so what should I do.

It's HIPAA, not HIPPA.

Almost certainly not a violation. The company talking amongst themselves about information you provided is not covered under the act.
