Home, Hope and Healing, Inc. Breach Exposes Vermont Patient Data

Home, Hope and Healing, Inc., a Vermont-based provider of in-home nursing and supportive services, has reported a data security incident to the state's Attorney General. This breach, reported on October 8, 2026, indicates that confidential patient information was compromised. The organization collects and stores highly sensitive data crucial for patient care, making any security failure a significant concern for affected individuals.

The exposed data includes Full Name, Date of Birth, Social Security Number, Medical Record Number, Health Insurance ID Number, Diagnosis and Treatment Information, Home Address, and Phone Number. Such a comprehensive exposure of personal and health details creates a substantial risk for victims.
