What Is This About?

If you recently received a letter or an email from Ascension Health informing you that your sensitive personal and protected health information was compromised in a data breach, you may be entitled to compensation. Ascension Health recently disclosed that it was the victim of a data breach that exposed individuals’ sensitive personal and protected health information.

What Happened?

On December 5, 2024, Ascension Health became aware of a security incident related to its former business partner. Upon detection, Ascension Health launched an investigation with the assistance of third-party cybersecurity experts to determine the nature and scope of the incident. The investigation determined that an unauthorized third party gained access to sensitive personal and protected health information after Ascension inadvertently disclosed information to the former business partner, and that data was later compromised due to a vulnerability in the third-party software used by the partner. Ascension Health conducted a comprehensive review of the impacted data to determine what information was compromised and identified affected individuals. On January 21, 2025, Ascension Health identified persons whose sensitive data was included in the impacted data. On April 29, 2025, Ascension Health made a public disclosure and started sending out notice letters to the impacted individuals.

What Information Was Impacted?

Upon information and belief, the following types of sensitive personal and protected health information may have been compromised:
  • Name;
  • Address;
  • Social Security Number;
  • Dates of Birth;
  • Phone Number(s);
  • Email Address;
