Health officials say someone gained access through a 'third-party' breach.

An unfortunate series of events may have exposed patient data of Ascension Care. The company says they discovered some patient information may have been “inadvertently disclosed” to a former business partner and then stolen from there. The company itself did not suffer a direct data breach as a result.

Company spokespersons say they “have since reviewed our processes and are working to implement enhanced measures to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future,"

"We encourage impacted individuals to remain vigilant against incidents of identity theft and fraud, review their account statements, and monitor their credit reports for suspicious activity." The company is offering credit monitoring services and identity theft protection for those affected.

Patients with concerns can call Ascension directly.

Ascension - 866-408-3556 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Central Time.
