Chesapeake Regional Healthcare

Chesapeake Regional Healthcare, located in Virginia, has experienced multiple data breaches affecting patient and employee information. The most significant incident involved a third-party vendor, Blackbaud, which occurred on February 7 and may have intermittently reoccurred until May 20. This breach potentially exposed the sensitive information of over 23,000 individuals[7][9][11][15]. Chesapeake Regional Healthcare has taken the incident seriously and has notified affected patients, donors, and employees[1][4].

In another incident, Chesapeake Regional Healthcare discovered that two hard drives containing the protected health information (PHI) of approximately 2,100 patients were missing[2]. This breach highlights the importance of proper security procedures to protect sensitive health information[5][17].

The healthcare provider has been working to address these security incidents and to prevent future breaches. Affected individuals have been notified, and Chesapeake Regional Healthcare is likely taking steps to enhance their data security measures and comply with regulatory requirements.
