Patient Rights & Responsibilities
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to care for you and your family’s healthcare needs. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding the following.
YOUR PRIVACY is very important to us. Please be sure your HIPAA forms on file are up-to-date and accurate. They detail to whom we can release your private health information, who can pick up things for you, and with whom we can discuss your healthcare. See a receptionist if you have not filled out these forms or if you need to make changes.
