Our Commitment to Your Privacy

We are dedicated to maintaining the privacy of your medical information.

These records are hospital property, however we are required by law to maintain the privacy of medical and health information about you and to provide you with Notice of our legal duties and privacy practices with respect to Protected Health Information. When your Protected Health Information is used or disclosed, we are required to abide by the terms of this Notice (or other notice in effect at the time of the use or disclosure).
