Patient Confidentiality & Safety

To protect our patients’ right to privacy, each patient receives a “patient confidentiality code” upon admission. This code will allow the staff to acknowledge that the patient is under our care.

If a patient wants to have detailed information about their hospital stay shared with anyone, the patient must sign a Release of Information form to facilitate that process.
