AnMed Data Breach Causes Office Closures: Investigation Ongoing

On July 26, 2026, AnMed experienced a cybersecurity disruption involving malware.

The health system's phones, internet and computer systems went offline as a result of the incident. The disruption affected AnMed's ability to access electronic systems, including patient medical records.

Due to the disruption, AnMed Medical Group offices and AnMed Imaging Services were closed on July 27, 2026. Physician offices reopened the following day for scheduled appointments, though phones, internet and computer systems remained offline.

AnMed kept its urgent care locations, AnMed Kids Care, AnMed Integrated Therapy locations and AnMed Laboratory Services open throughout the disruption. The company also coordinated with emergency medical services, regional hospitals and public safety partners to ensure patients continued to receive care in the most appropriate setting.

AnMed engaged third-party cybersecurity specialists to assist with investigating the incident and restoring systems.

At this time, the company stated its forensic review of the incident remained ongoing and that it was not yet able to provide additional details about the nature or scope of the incident. No specific types of personal or medical data have been identified as exposed.

AnMed posted notices on its website, updating its patients as the investigation continued.

As the investigation remains in its early stages, individual consumer notifications have not yet been sent.

AnMed's response

The health system created a centralized web page with updates on facility closures, service changes and official communications related to the incident. Office staff planned to reach out to patients in the coming days to reschedule appointments that were canceled during the disruption.

According to the company's frequently asked questions page, if the investigation determines that patient information was affected, AnMed will notify impacted individuals in accordance with applicable laws and provide guidance on recommended next steps.
