Data Breach Summary
Chambers County Public Hospital District No. 1, based in Anahuac, Texas, recently reported a data breach affecting the personal information of 84,082 individuals. While no evidence of misuse has been found, Chambers Health is proactively notifying all potentially affected individuals.
Chambers Health experienced a network disruption on July 19, 2024. Upon detecting the incident, the organization swiftly took action to secure its network and enlisted cybersecurity experts to investigate the breach. The forensic review initially revealed no evidence that any data had been compromised. However, on December 26, 2024, Chambers Health learned that certain files may have been accessed without authorization. After conducting a thorough investigation and data review, which was completed on April 10, 2025, it was determined that unauthorized third parties may have acquired personal information.
Though no misuse of data has been confirmed, the following personal information was potentially exposed to unauthorized access:
First and last name
Date of birth
Address
Phone number
Health insurance information
Medical information
Financial information
Social Security number
Driver’s license number
It is important to note that the types of information involved varied by individual, and not every individual had all the elements listed above exposed.

Security Freeze: If you are highly concerned about fraud, Chambers County Public Hospital District recommends placing a security freeze on your credit file to prevent unauthorized access.
Review Financial Statements: Regularly monitor your credit reports and financial accounts for any signs of irregular activity.
