Mission Community Hospital Data Breach Settlement
Deanco Healthcare, which operates Mission Community Hospital, has agreed to a $1.55 million class action settlement following a data breach that occurred in May 2023. The lawsuit alleged that the hospital failed to adequately protect patients' and individuals' sensitive personal information, leaving it vulnerable to unauthorized access by cybercriminals.
If you received a notice that your personal information may have been exposed in this breach, you could be eligible to file a claim and receive compensation from the settlement fund. This is your chance to get something back for the hassle and potential risk that comes with having your private data compromised.
The deadline to file a claim is August 12, 2026, so there's time to act — but don't wait too long. Class Action Buddy can help you check your eligibility and walk you through the filing process quickly and easily.
Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- You received a data breach notification letter from Deanco Healthcare or Mission Community Hospital regarding the May 2023 data breach
- Your personal information — such as your name, Social Security number, medical records, or financial data — was potentially exposed in the breach
- You were a patient, employee, or otherwise had your data stored by Mission Community Hospital at the time of the breach
- You are a U.S. resident whose information was impacted by the May 2023 security incident
How Much Can You Get?
The total settlement fund is $1.55 million, which will be distributed among all eligible claimants. Individual payout amounts will depend on the total number of valid claims filed — the more people who file, the smaller each individual share may be. Claimants who experienced documented out-of-pocket losses directly related to the breach, such as costs for credit monitoring, identity theft recovery, or fraudulent charges, may be eligible to claim higher reimbursement amounts with supporting documentation.
Specific per-person payout figures have not yet been publicly detailed, so exact compensation amounts are pending. Even without documented losses, class members who simply had their data exposed may still be entitled to a base cash payment from the settlement fund.
