A settlement has been reached with Regional Urology and Ochsner LSU Health (together, “OLHS” or “Defendants”) in a class action lawsuit. This case is about the targeted cyberattack on OLHS' computer systems that occurred in October 2025 (the “Data Incident”). Certain files that contained private information may have been accessed. These files may have contained personal information such as name; Social Security number; date of birth; medical record number; and information related to care received at Regional Urology prior to December 31, 2022.
The lawsuit is called Clark, et al., v. Regional Urology, LLC, et al., Case No. 662345. It is pending in the District Court for the Parish of Caddo, Louisiana (the “Litigation”). OLHS denies that it did anything wrong, and the Court has not decided who is right. The parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit (the “Settlement”) to avoid the costs and risks, disruptions, and uncertainties of continuing the Litigation.
