The privacy and protection of your personal health information have always been of great importance to everyone who works at Parrish Medical Center. We are committed to providing you with the highest quality health care and to forming a relationship with you built on trust. This trust can only be built on our commitment to respecting the privacy and confidentiality of your health information.
On April 14, 2003, the federal Office of Civil Rights enforced new rules to ensure this trust between patients and their healthcare providers. As part of those new rules, healthcare providers will be required to obtain your signature in acknowledgement of how the hospital/provider uses and shares your personal health information.
Parrish Medical Center provides every patient with a pamphlet explaining these requirements. The pamphlet can be obtained from Patient Registration or by clicking here, It is a very detailed explanation of how your personal health information is used and secured here at PMC.
