Data Breach Summary
CardioVascular Health Clinic, a prominent provider specializing in heart and vascular care in Oklahoma, has officially disclosed a data breach affecting its patients’ sensitive information. The clinic reported the incident to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on May 3, 2025, following an internal investigation.
The unauthorized access took place over a period from February 18 through March 4, 2025, stemming from a compromise of the clinic’s cloud services provider. This security event allowed an unknown third party to access the clinic’s network, potentially putting patient data at risk. CardioVascular Health Clinic detected the incident through its ongoing security monitoring and immediately launched a comprehensive investigation to understand the scope and nature of the breach.

Patient names, addresses, and contact details
