Website Privacy Statement
PCH will not use or disclose your personal health information for any purpose unless you have signed a form authorizing the use or disclosure. You have the right to revoke that authorization in writing unless we have taken any action in reliance on the authorization. We will make uses and disclosures of your personal health information that you provide about your symptoms as necessary for planning a course of treatment and to enable your continuity of care. We will make uses and disclosures of your personal health information that you provide for payment purposes for treatment that you receive, and for our own internal ongoing quality improvement initiatives to improve clinical treatment and care that we provide our patients. Our use and disclosure of an individual's personal information (including health information) is limited as required by state and federal law. We do not sell or rent personal information about visitors to this site or customers who use the site.
To ensure the privacy of your information, we have established security measures on this website to help protect against the loss, misuse, or alteration of information under our control. Such measures include encryption of data using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) system, and using a secured messaging service when we send you personal information electronically. Despite the measures that we may put in place, the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to or from us via this site by Internet or e-mail cannot be guaranteed. At your discretion, you may contact us by selecting the "Contact us" link at the top of any page or by writing to us at the mailing address listed in the "Contacts" section at the end of this Privacy Statement.

We will post notice of any material revisions to this Web Privacy Statement here on our website. Any revised Privacy Statement will apply both to information we already have about you at the time of the change, and any personal information created or received after the change takes effect. This Privacy Statement will contain a date of revision that it was last revised.
