Our Responsibilities
We are required by law to maintain the privacy and security of your protected health information.
We will let you know promptly if a breach occurs that may have compromised the privacy or security of your information.
We must follow the duties and privacy practices described in this notice and give you a copy of it.
We will not use or share your information other than as described here unless you tell us we can in writing. If you tell us we can, you may change your mind at any time in writing.

Special Note Regarding Reproductive Health Information
Federal HIPAA rules now include additional protections related to certain requests involving reproductive health care information, including circumstances where an attestation may be required before disclosure for certain purposes. HHS updated its model notices in February 2026 to reflect these changes. (HHS.gov)
Substance Use Disorder Records
If we maintain records that are subject to the federal confidentiality rules for substance use disorder patient records under 42 CFR Part 2, additional protections and notice requirements may apply. A separate Part 2 patient notice may be used where required. HHS now provides a model Part 2 patient notice. (HHS.gov)
