On November 19, 2025, Wyandot Center, a nonprofit community behavioral health center in Kansas City, KS, disclosed a cybersecurity incident that was first detected on or around September 22, 2025. Third-party cybersecurity experts were called in to investigate suspicious network activity and confirmed unauthorized access to its network between September 21 and September 22, 2025. During that time, files containing patients’ protected health information were exposed and may have been accessed or acquired.

Over the following six weeks, the exposed files were reviewed. On November 5, 2025, Wyandot Center confirmed that the exposed data included names in combination with one or more of the following: address, date of birth, Social Security number, patient ID, medical record number, health insurance information, service date, diagnosis/condition information, provider name, prescription information, and/or medical history information.

Additional security measures have been implemented, and data security policies and procedures are being reviewed.
