Community Health Center, Inc. Data Breach

Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether a class action lawsuit can be filed in light of the Community Health Center data breach.

As part of their investigation, they need to hear from individuals who received a notice stating they were impacted.

Community Health Center, Inc. (CHC), which provides medical, dental, behavioral and school-based health care services throughout Connecticut, recently experienced a data breach involving unauthorized access to its computer systems on January 2, 2025. Upon detecting unusual activity, Community Health Center engaged cybersecurity experts to investigate and strengthen its systems' security. The investigation revealed that a "skilled criminal hacker" infiltrated the company's systems and potentially accessed sensitive data. 

The Community Health Center data breach reportedly affected 1,060,936 people, including current and former patients, people who received COVID tests or vaccines at a clinic operated by CHC, and guarantors or people who provided insurance for patients.

The types of information compromised in the breach varied by individual but may have included names, birthdates, contact information, demographic details, diagnoses, treatment details, test results, medications, vaccine information, Social Security numbers, and health insurance information. Community Health Center is sending data breach notices to affected individuals specifying what types of information may have been exposed.

If your information was exposed in the breach, attorneys want to hear from you. You may be able to start a class action lawsuit to recover compensation for loss of privacy, time spent dealing with the breach, out-of-pocket costs, and more.

A successful case could also force Community Health Center to ensure it takes proper steps to protect the information it was entrusted with.
