ethically, you have an obligation to report this.
Her on-the-side job is in direct conflict with your company -- it also is a legal matter -- and it could potentially effect everyone.

Ethically, once you recognize the name, you should tell your supervisor that you...
know this person and it wouldn't be right for you to have privy to their private medical record. THat's the rule where I work. I've had my children's principal, fellow co-workers, and people that I know from my husband's place of employment. I return the job and tell my boss to give it to somebody else.

Legal, sure. Ethically, it's the same as stealing.
I've never done it and never will. I won't even solicit clients of friends or former coworkers. Now if the client calls me or if the person refers me, that's something to think about.
