Coastal Family Health Center

Coastal Family Health Center (also known as Coastal Healthcare Organization or CFHC) is a United States‑based healthcare provider that delivers family‑oriented medical services. The center offers primary care appointments, preventive health screenings, and chronic disease management for individuals and families. It provides specialized services such as HIV/AIDS testing and treatment, laboratory diagnostics, and financial verification assistance for patients seeking care. In addition, the organization conducts school‑based sports physicals and health screenings for students, and runs outreach programs aimed at homeless populations. These activities indicate a focus on serving both general community members and vulnerable groups within its geographic service area.

Coastal Family Health Center distinguishes itself through its integration of clinical care with social support services, particularly its HIV/AIDS program and homeless outreach initiatives. As a healthcare entity operating in the United States, it is subject to federal health privacy regulations such as HIPAA, which governs the protection of patient information. The organization experienced a notable cybersecurity incident on May 6 2021, when the threat group Xing Team exfiltrated and publicly released approximately 506 GB of sensitive data. The breach exposed patient medical histories, lab results, HIV/AIDS records, financial verification documents, driver’s license copies, and files related to school sports screenings and homeless services. While the public sources do not disclose the center’s ownership structure, parent company, or subsidiary relationships, the incident highlights the importance of robust data protection measures for community health providers.
