Procedure Information

Regional Urology, a medical clinic based in Shreveport, Louisiana, has disclosed a data breach involving personal and health information stored in retired systems. On October 10, 2025, the clinic noticed unusual activity related to legacy systems that had not been in use since 2022. The investigation revealed that an unauthorized third party had accessed and potentially acquired sensitive personal information from these outdated systems around October 5, 2025.

The breach primarily affected information from individuals who received care at Regional Urology prior to December 31, 2022. Regional Urology has been working to determine the scope of the breach and identify the specific individuals whose information was compromised.

As part of their response, Regional Urology has provided affected individuals with a list of the compromised data and offered complimentary credit monitoring services to help mitigate potential risks. Additionally, the breach was officially reported to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights on December 9, 2025.
