North Florida Obstetrics & Gynecology

North Florida OB‑GYN, also known as North Florida Obstetrics & Gynecology, is a healthcare provider that focuses on obstetrics and gynecology services for women. The organization delivers routine prenatal and postnatal care, well‑woman examinations, contraceptive counseling, and management of gynecologic conditions. It operates clinics that serve patients seeking specialized reproductive health care. As part of a broader women’s care network, it integrates its services with other affiliated providers to offer coordinated care.

The organization is headquartered in the United States, with its facilities located in Florida. In April 2019, a cyber incident was discovered that had persisted for nearly two months and ultimately affected more than 528,000 patients. The breach involved unauthorized access to portions of its networked computer systems, resulting in the exposure of sensitive health information. Following a preliminary assessment, the provider initiated patient notifications to inform those whose data may have been compromised.

This incident highlighted the organization’s role as a custodian of protected health information subject to HIPAA regulations, underscoring the importance of robust security controls in healthcare settings. North Florida OB‑GYN’s specialization in women’s health distinguishes it within the broader medical sector, particularly as part of a network dedicated to obstetric and gynecologic services. While the breach represented a significant security lapse, the organization’s continued operation reflects its ongoing commitment to providing clinical care to its patient community.
