Breach Settlement Agreement Reached

Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum and Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes have settled a data breach enforcement case against Avalon Healthcare Management. It’s the part of the Avalon Health Care Group that provides skilled nursing, therapy, senior living/assisted living and other medical services in six states, including Oregon and Utah. The $200,000 settlement stems from a 2019 data breach that exposed the personal information and protected health information of 14,500 Avalon employees and patients, including 1,649 Oregon residents. Oregon will receive $100,000.
