Omni Family Health reached a $6.5 million settlement over a 2024 data breach that exposed the information of about 468,000 patients and employees; the claim window has now closed.
What Is This Settlement About?
Omni Family Health — a nonprofit network of community health centers headquartered in Bakersfield, California, serving patients across the state's Central Valley — agreed to a $6,500,000 class action settlement to resolve claims arising from a data security incident disclosed in 2024. According to court filings, Omni discovered in early August 2024 that an unauthorized party had accessed its systems and posted stolen files; the company says the incident was reported to regulators and class members were notified. A ransomware group claimed responsibility for the attack, though those claims are the attacker's and were not independently confirmed.The information involved may have included names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and health-insurance and medical information. The consolidated litigation, led by the case captioned Pace v. Omni Family Health in the Superior Court of California, County of Kern, alleged Omni failed to adequately protect the personal and protected health information in its care. Omni denies the allegations and any wrongdoing; the settlement resolves the claims without any admission of liability. The court granted final approval on February 26, 2026.
