• You have a right to a copy of your medical record. We will provide a copy usually

within 30 days of your request.

• You can ask us to correct health information about you that you think is incorrect or

incomplete. We may say “no” to your request, but we will tell you why in writing

within 30 days.

requests.

Your Choices
• You can tell us your choices about whether and what we share with your family,

close friends, or others involved in your care.

• If you cannot tell us your preference, for example, if you are unconscious, we may

go ahead and share your information if we believe it is in your best interest. We may

also share your information when needed to lessen a serious and imminent threat

to your health or safety.

order or in response to a subpoena if required by law.

of your health information.

time. Let us know in writing if you change your mind.
