Saint Agnes Health Care

Saint Agnes Health Care operates as a health care provider with its headquarters located in the United States. The organization delivers medical services to patients within its service area, focusing on delivering care to the community it serves. As a health care entity, it is subject to the regulatory requirements that govern patient information and clinical operations in the United States. Its core mission centers on providing health care to individuals seeking medical attention.

In April 2015, Saint Agnes Health Care experienced a security incident when attackers used a phishing email to compromise an employee's email account. The breach exposed personal information of approximately 25,000 individuals, including names, dates of birth, genders, medical record numbers, insurance details, limited clinical information, and Social Security numbers in four cases. Upon discovery, the organization disabled the compromised account credentials and implemented additional security safeguards to prevent further unauthorized access. It also notified all affected individuals and offered identity monitoring services to those whose Social Security numbers were accessed.

The incident highlighted the organization's exposure to cyber threats targeting health care data and prompted a review of its email security practices. While the breach was contained, the event underscored the importance of safeguarding protected health information in accordance with federal and state privacy laws. Saint Agnes Health Care continues to operate as a health care provider in the United States, maintaining its commitment to patient care and data protection.
