Yes please, I only checked the ones from homepage, I probably missed some if the other pages includes other scripts

Just open app.medvi.org and search in DevTools gmail/yahoo/icloud and you will see js bundle with emails. or seasonhealth/openloophealth to find another js bundle with staff emails.

So did you disclose this responsibly? Posting about it publicly first is asking for that sensitive data to be leaked. Might as well hack and repost that PII yourself.

This is not a data leakage. They deliberately included 999 of their customers' email addresses in publicly accessible JavaScript code in order to test certain features on them.

Certainly that wasn't intentional to broadcast to the public? Sounds like a textbook data leak.
