What Happened?
On May 22, 2025, ApolloMD’s security team detected suspicious activity inside its information-technology environment.

After confirming the intrusion, ApolloMD reviewed the compromised files to identify exactly what data and whose records were affected. Because the company services more than 125 medical practices nationwide, the impacted population spans multiple states and facilities, including:
- Pensacola Hospitalist Physicians, LLC (Florida)
- Broad River Physicians Group, LLC (South Carolina)
- Other ApolloMD-affiliated hospitals and physician groups
What Information Was Exposed?
The type of data varies by individual, but could include:
- Full name
- Social Security number
- Date of birth and home address
