(ANDERSON, S.C. – Jul 30 – 5:45 p.m.) — AnMed is aware that some patients may be receiving communications, including MyChart appointment reminders, that appear to come from AnMed. During our response to the cybersecurity incident, certain appointment reminders generated outside of our internal systems may continue to be delivered by text message. Patients are not required to confirm appointments electronically at this time. While we have no evidence that patients have been targeted by anyone with malicious intent as a result of this incident, we encourage patients and members of the community to remain cautious with electronic messages that appear to originate from AnMed.
Open locations continue to provide care for patients according to their scheduled appointments, and electronic confirmation is not required.
We understand this incident is frustrating, and we regret the impact on our patients. We appreciate the community’s patience as our teams work around the clock to restore full, secure access as quickly and safely as possible.
Guided by patient health and safety, we are making deliberate progress in our response. Federal, state and third-party investigations remain ongoing.
To keep patients and the community as informed as possible, we are regularly expanding and updating our Frequently Asked Questions at go.anmed.org/latest-updates. The FAQs address patients’ most common inquiries and provide the most complete verified information currently available.
Current information about openings, service changes, prescription refill requests and other operational updates is available alongside the FAQs at go.anmed.org/latest-updates.
We appreciate the understanding and support of our patients, team members and community partners as we continue working to provide care and restore systems safely.
