Family Health Center Data Breach:
Lawsuit Investigation
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether a class action lawsuit can be filed in light of the Family Health Center data breach.
As part of their investigation, they need to hear from individuals who received a notice stating they were impacted.
A recent data security incident at Family Health Center in Kalamazoo, Michigan has exposed the personal information of approximately 33,240 individuals.
Upon discovery of the incident, which occurred on January 25, 2024, Family Health Center engaged a third-party cybersecurity firm to conduct a forensic investigation, which revealed evidence that some files were accessed by an unauthorized actor.
The personal information that may have been compromised in the Family Health Center data breach includes employees' names, addresses, health insurance information, and Social Security numbers. For patients, the information varied but may have included first names, last names, and medical information; Social Security numbers of patients were not exposed.
Family Health Center is currently in the process of identifying the impacted individuals and will be sending formal notice letters to them once they are identified. The incident has been reported to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
If your information was exposed in the breach, attorneys want to hear from you. You may be able to start a class action lawsuit to recover compensation for loss of privacy, time spent dealing with the breach, out-of-pocket costs, and more.
A successful case could also force Family Health Center to ensure it takes proper steps to protect the information it was entrusted with.
