In March 2017, the company discovered that they had suffered a data breach of over 2,000 patients' information after an unauthorized individual gained access to an employee’s credentials and email account.
An investigation performed by the company discovered that some of the emails within that employee's email account contained sensitive and confidential patient information including patients’ names, addresses, dates of birth, dates of service, providers’ names, reason for visit, medical history and conditions, medications, diagnostic results and/or social history. Fortunately patients’ medical records, Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, health insurance numbers, or other financial information were not found to be included in the emails.
