Luminis Health, the Maryland system that runs Anne Arundel Medical Center in Annapolis and Doctors Community Medical Center in Lanham, said September 1 that it is working through a cybersecurity incident affecting certain systems across its organization. The health system disclosed the situation in a Facebook post around 6:45 p.m., saying its priority remains providing safe, high-quality care to patients while it works to resolve the issue.
The system, which operates facilities across central Maryland and the Eastern Shore, offered no details on when the attack began or whether patient data was compromised. A Baltimore Sun report noted representatives were not available to answer questions about the attack’s start or any data exposure, and the Facebook statement asked patients and families for patience and understanding.
Luminis Health is anchored by the two hospitals plus a medical group spanning primary and specialty care, making it one of the community systems that regional emergency departments and referral networks depend on. Public statements so far have not detailed which systems were affected or how care delivery has changed.
For other providers in the region, the disclosure is a reminder that a first public notice often arrives before scope is known. Health systems typically advise patients to watch for official updates, and cybersecurity teams should treat the incident as a signal to review vendor access and third-party connections, particularly email and billing platforms that attackers commonly reach for in hospital network intrusions. Further details are expected as the investigation proceeds.
