Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital Under Investigation for Data Breach of Over 250,000 Records

Schubert Jonckheer & Kolbe LLP is investigating a data breach that led to unauthorized access to the sensitive information of 257,073 individuals affiliated with Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital (“NMH”), a 226-bed hospital in Texas.

According to The HIPAA Journal, an unauthorized actor gained access to NMH’s computer network and information systems from January 15, 2026, to January 31, 2026, and obtained files containing sensitive health information.  

Although the breach occurred in January 2026, NMH did not begin notifying affected individuals until March 31, 2026, which may have violated state and federal laws. The following information may have been compromised in the breach: names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, medical record numbers, account numbers, health plan beneficiary numbers, and, for certain individuals, full face photograph images.

If your personal information was impacted by this incident, you may be at risk of identity theft and other serious violations of your privacy. As a result, you may be entitled to money damages and an injunction requiring changes to NMH’s cybersecurity practices.
