As of 28 August 2026 the case is listed by HHS OCR under Cases Currently Under Investigation. OCR has not published a closing summary, so this page is limited to the fields on the filing itself; the archive entry that follows a closed investigation usually adds a short account of what was exposed and what the entity did afterwards.

Connecticut's breach notification statute (Conn. Gen. Stat. 36a-701b) requires notice to affected residents without unreasonable delay, no later than 60 days after discovery. Its attorney general threshold: all breaches (no minimum resident threshold). The HIPAA Breach Notification Rule ran alongside it: notice to affected individuals and to HHS without unreasonable delay and no later than 60 days after discovery, which is the clock that put this filing on the portal.

Multiplying 62,232 individuals by IBM's $160 customer-PII cost per record (Cost of a Data Breach 2025, the figure the site's calculator uses) gives a modelled $9.96M; the 2026 edition's $192 gives $11.9M. Both are modelled estimates with the method shown, not costs disclosed by Gaylord Hospital, Inc. For scale, IBM's 2026 average cost of a healthcare breach is $6.64M, so this filing models at 1.8 times the sector average.
