What Happened?
On Feb. 2, 2026, Deaconess was notified by its Release of Information (ROI) vendor, MediCopy, about a data security incident.

The types of information exposed varied by individual, but may have included the following:
Information Exposed:

- Health insurance identification numbers
- Medical records related to treatment received at Deaconess
