Notice of Privacy Practices

HIPAA and You

Shore Memorial Hospital is committed to upholding the spirit and letter of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in issues of privacy and confidentiality regarding privileged, personal medical information.
HIPAA provides stringent federal regulations regarding the privacy and security of the personal medical records of every American citizen.
The law establishes clear privacy requirements for hospitals, doctors and other medical professionals - and guarantees the right of all patients to access, correct and amend their personal medical records.
