Breach Description
Jordan Valley Community Health Center, operating under Advocates for a Healthy Community Inc. in Missouri, experienced a data breach that was identified on August 9, 2023. The forensic investigation revealed that unauthorized access to the health center’s network occurred from March 9, 2023, to June 22, 2023. During this period, patient files may have been viewed or copied. The types of patient data involved in the breach included names, addresses, email addresses, dates of birth, and racial information. The health center confirmed that all printed and digital material that had been taken was recovered, and affidavits were obtained to confirm that no copies of the stolen data were made. Jordan Valley Community Health Center has since taken steps to restrict access to information without a business need to prevent future incidents. Affected individuals were notified on September 15, and the incident was reported to the Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights, although the total number of affected individuals was not specified in the available information[11][14].
In a separate incident, Jordan Valley Community Health Center was also affected by a nationwide data breach involving the San Antonio-based company CaptureRx. This earlier breach, which occurred on February 6, 2021, affected approximately 12,000 Jordan Valley patients. The compromised data included first names, last names, dates of birth, and prescription information. The breach was part of a larger incident impacting at least 115 healthcare organizations and at least 1.6 million patients serviced by CaptureRx. Jordan Valley Community Health Center responded by notifying affected patients and providing a toll-free assistance line for support[2].
It is important for individuals affected by such breaches to monitor their accounts for potential identity theft and consider checking their credit reports, as advised by the breached entities[2][11].
