Centerwell

Centerwell, a Louisville, Kentucky-based provider of healthcare services to seniors, has recently reported a data breach to the Texas Attorney General that involved unauthorized access to patient information.

The scale of the breach is currently unclear, other than the personal and protected health information of 4,618 Texas residents was compromised in the incident. The breach could be substantially larger, as Centerwell provides senior healthcare services in 30 U.S. states. The Texas Attorney General was informed on March 6, 2026, that data compromised in the incident includes names, addresses, dates of birth, and medical information. At the time of writing, the affected individuals have not been informed by mail, and no known threat group has publicly claimed responsibility for the incident.

While there is currently no substitute breach notice on the Centerwell website, the company has reported the data breach to the HHS’ Office for Civil Rights as affecting 9,561 individuals.
