The breach, which occurred on December 2, 2025, involved an unauthorized third party gaining access to highly confidential patient records. This incident highlights the ongoing vulnerability of healthcare organizations to sophisticated cyber threats.

The compromised data is extensive and includes your Full Name, Date of Birth, Social Security Number, Medical Record Number, Health Insurance ID Number, Diagnosis and Treatment Information, Physician and Clinical Notes, and Billing and Financial Information.
