What happened at Palo Verde Hospital?

On March 6, 2025, Palo Verde Hospital first discovered a potential data breach that disrupted some of the hospital’s IT systems and may have compromised a large amount of sensitive patient information. According to hospital officials, an unauthorized party gained access to certain systems between March 3 and March 6, 2025. Some of the files thought to have been accessed and removed contained both personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI).

According to a notice posted on the hospital website, the exposed information may include the following: names, contact information, demographic details, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, medical record numbers, patient account numbers, diagnosis and treatment information, prescription details, provider names, dates of service, and health insurance information.
