What Happened?
VITAS Hospice Services, a member of the Vitas Health network, recently experienced a data breach that exposed sensitive information belonging to patients, former patients, and in some cases, their family members. The incident began when an unauthorized party gained access through a compromised third-party vendor account, enabling them to infiltrate VITAS systems between September 21, 2025, and October 27, 2025.
VITAS discovered the breach on October 24, 2025, and immediately secured its systems while initiating an internal investigation supported by external cybersecurity specialists. According to a disclosure submitted to the California Attorney General, the attackers accessed and downloaded various forms of personal and health-related information.
The specific data affected differs for each individual, but the compromised information may include names, email addresses, Social Security numbers, passport numbers, bank and debit card details, driver’s license numbers, medical IDs, phone numbers, medical record numbers, Medicare Beneficiary Identifier numbers, health savings account information, ICD codes, and National Provider Identifier numbers.
Both personally identifiable information—such as Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and financial account details—and protected health information—such as medical records, medical IDs, ICD codes, and Medicare identifiers—were potentially exposed in the breach.
Notification letters have been sent to affected individuals, providing information about the incident, the types of data involved, and steps to monitor and protect against potential misuse of personal information.
