(ANDERSON, S.C. – August 11, 2026 – 5:54 p.m.) We’re pleased to share several important developments as AnMed continues making significant progress in restoring its systems and communications following the cybersecurity incident identified on July 26.
Our care teams now have full read/write access to patients’ electronic health records. This means they can both view and electronically update medical records, an important step forward in restoring normal operations.
Beginning at 7:00 a.m. Wednesday, patients can once again call their doctors’ offices and other departments directly during regular service hours regarding their care. We encourage patients to contact the specific office or department they need.
Phone numbers are available through our provider directory and location directory.
Our teams remain ready to assist patients with questions or concerns related to their care. We understand patients may also have questions about data security and the information involved in this incident. The investigations remain ongoing, and we will share additional information as soon as we are able.
We are grateful for the continued patience, understanding and support of our patients, team members and community partners. These developments represent meaningful progress as we continue working to safely and fully restore our systems and communications.
