Data Breach Summary
Gateway Community Services, Inc. (GCS) has issued a notification to certain current and former patients regarding a data security incident that may have compromised their personal information. The organization has issued this notice to inform impacted individuals about the breach, the actions being taken in response, and the resources available to help protect their personal data.
On April 11, 2025, GCS detected unauthorized access to its network environment. Upon discovery of the incident, the organization quickly secured its network and engaged a third-party forensic incident response firm to assist in securing the environment and investigating the extent of the breach. The investigation revealed that the unauthorized third party may have acquired certain personal data during the breach.
A thorough review of the potentially impacted data was completed by May 16, 2025. GCS determined that personal information might have been exposed, but there is no evidence at this time suggesting that any individual’s information has been misused. As of the writing of this notice, GCS has not received any reports of identity theft or misuse of the compromised data.
The personal information that may have been exposed includes:
First and last name
Address
Social Security number
Date of birth
Driver’s license or state identification number
Medical or treatment information
Health insurance information
The specific information affected varied for each individual, and not every individual had all of the listed elements exposed. However, GCS has taken the necessary steps to notify all potentially impacted individuals in writing.
To assist those affected by the breach, GCS has arranged for complimentary credit monitoring services and identity theft protection services for all potentially impacted individuals for a period of twelve months. These services are being offered at no cost to the individuals involved. GCS encourages those impacted to enroll in the services and follow the recommendations outlined in the notification letter to protect their information.

Monitor your financial accounts and credit reports for any signs of unauthorized activity.
Follow the additional recommendations provided in the notification letter to safeguard your information.
