The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 requires us to inform patients/clients of our Notice of Privacy Practices.

At Gannett Health Services, we have a long-standing commitment to the rights and privacy of our patients and clients. We have always protected the confidentiality of health information of the people who rely on us for care. State and federal laws also protect the confidentiality of this sensitive information.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) was established by the federal government to protect the rights and privacy of the patients. This regulation requires all health care providers to inform patients/clients of their Notice of Privacy Practices for using or disclosing protected health information to carry out treatment, payment, and/or health care operations.

We take this regulation seriously. Gannett's Notice of Privacy Practices (pdf) describes our policy and the way in which we use your personal health information. We hope you'll read it.
