Sturgis Hospital Data Breach Details:

In September of 2025, Sturgis Hospital in Michigan reported a data breach impacting about 77,771 individuals, stemming from two separate incidents of unauthorized network access. The first intrusion was detected in December 2024, when unusual activity was identified in part of the hospital’s computer systems, prompting immediate cooperation with external cybersecurity experts to investigate and contain the event. While that inquiry was ongoing, a second episode of unauthorized activity occurred in June 2025, which also led to a separate expert-led investigation and remediation efforts.

Following these reviews, it was determined that an unknown third party may have accessed or acquired files containing sensitive information. The hospital has since notified law enforcement, reinforced system protections, and begun notifying affected patients, advising them to stay vigilant by monitoring financial and health accounts, reviewing credit reports, and considering fraud alerts.

It is unclear if Sturgis Hospital is offering credit monitoring and/or identity theft protection services to any affected individuals at this time.

About Sturgis Hospital:

Sturgis Hospital, situated in Sturgis, Michigan, traces its origins to 1925 when it was established through an endowment from the estate of William C. Grobhiser. Initially known as Sturgis Memorial Hospital, the facility underwent several expansions and renovations over the decades, including a 1992 update to its original building for physician offices and later adaptations for specialty clinics. In 2005, the hospital remodeled its surgical areas to accommodate growing needs. A significant transition occurred in 2023 when it became the first institution in Michigan to receive designation as a Rural Emergency Hospital, aligning with federal guidelines to focus on emergency and outpatient care while phasing out inpatient services.

As a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, Sturgis Hospital operates without reliance on local tax funding and reports annual revenues exceeding $40 million, with over $250,000 allocated to charity care for underserved patients. It employs more than 300 staff members and offers a variety of primary and specialty medical services, including emergency care, through its facilities at 916 Myrtle Avenue.
