About Magnolia Medical Clinic PA

Magnolia Medical Clinic PA is a family medicine group practice with locations in Fort Walton Beach and Destin, Florida. The practice has been serving patients since 1953 and offers primary care, sports medicine, women’s preventative services, and on-site lab and X-ray services. It operates with approximately nine physicians across Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Nurse Practitioner specialties. Because this is a healthcare provider, the records it maintains are likely to include protected health information, making any unauthorized disclosure particularly sensitive.

What Happened?

Magnolia Medical Clinic PA was listed in an HHS Office for Civil Rights breach portal report submitted on August 25th, 2026. The incident is classified as an Unauthorized Access/Disclosure, and the breached information was located in Paper/Films — meaning physical records rather than electronic systems. A total of 1,601 individuals were affected. No business associate was involved in the breach.

The involvement of paper and film records suggests the incident may have involved improper disposal, theft, or unauthorized physical access to physical patient files rather than a cyberattack. No public breach notice letter, media coverage, or additional details about the specific circumstances of the incident have been identified. The specific types of information exposed were not disclosed in the filing.
