About Advanced Radiology Services, P.C.
Advanced Radiology Services, P.C. (ARS) is a physician-owned radiology practice headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Founded in 1997 through the merger of independent radiology practices that served Butterworth and Blodgett Hospitals, ARS has grown into one of the largest private radiology practices in the country, performing approximately 2.7 million studies annually across Michigan. The practice employs between 201 and 500 people and provides sub-specialized diagnostic and interventional radiology services — including body imaging, fluoroscopy, interventional radiology, nuclear medicine, breast care services, and emergency radiology — to six healthcare systems throughout Michigan. Because ARS handles medical imaging and diagnostic information for a large patient population, the type of information involved in any security incident may be highly sensitive in nature.
What Happened?
Advanced Radiology Services, P.C. was listed in an HHS Office for Civil Rights breach portal report submitted on September 16th, 2026.

A business associate was noted as present in the filing, though the identity of that business associate has not been publicly disclosed. A total of 826 individuals were reported as affected.
No public notification letter, press release, or additional incident details have been identified in publicly available sources as of the time of this writing. The specific types of personal or health information involved were not specified in the HHS filing. No ransomware group claims connected to this incident were identified on leak sites or ransomware tracking platforms, and no related litigation has been reported. Notably, the number of individuals affected is relatively small given the scale of ARS’s operations, which may suggest the incident was limited in scope or primarily involved a business associate’s systems rather than ARS’s broader network.
