Newman Regional Health, a hospital, experienced a major data breach that affected more than 52,000 individuals over the course of 10 months in 2021.

Newman Regional Health, a hospital based in Emporia, Kansas, recently notified patients that a 2021 data breach exposed patients’ health information. Newman did not notify patients for approximately 6 months that their health information may have been exposed in the breach. In addition to health information, Newman Regional Health has indicated that some patients may have had their social security numbers and/or financial information compromised as a result of the data breach.

Scripps health faced a similar class action lawsuit in 2021 after a data breach compromised the information of nearly 150,000 patients.
