On March 4, 2022, SAC Health became aware of a break-in to an off-site storage facility where certain limited patient records were housed. Six boxes of paper documents were removed from the facility without authorization. SAC Health was able to confirm that certain limited patient documents were impacted by this theft.
On April 22, 2022, SAC Health determined that the impacted files related to certain patients served by SAC Health in 1997 and between 2006 and 2020. On May 3, 2022, SAC Health began notifying the potentially impacted population.
What Information Was Involved?
While the specific data elements vary for each potentially affected individual, the scope of information potentially involved includes:

How Will Individuals Know If They Are Affected By This Incident?
Based on the nature of access to the information, SAC Health concluded that the extent of the access is limited to impacted files related to certain patients served by SAC in 1997 and between 2006 and 2020. Out of an abundance of caution, SAC Health is sending notice to all individuals included in that population.
