Patients’ rights

You can be assured of privacy and confidentiality … before, during and after your treatment at Bradford. It’s the law. And it’s a protection we safeguard for each one of our patients.

Note: The confidentiality of all information, including patient and family/significant other identity, discovered during participation in any Bradford Health Services program is protected by Federal law and regulations. Bradford Health Services or its program participants may not say to a person outside Bradford Health Services’ program that a patient or family member/significant other has attended the program, or disclose any information identifying a patient or family member/significant other, unless:

1. the patient/family member/significant other consents in writing as required by Federal regulations;
2. the disclosure is allowed by a court order; or
3. the disclosure is made to medical personnel in a medical emergency.

“From the moment I had my consultation and came to Bradford, to this time as I prepare to talk through the door; I have felt nothing but acceptance and non-judgment.”
