Notice of Privacy Practices of Lindsborg Community Hospital

This notice describes how medical information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can get access to this information.

WHAT IS HIPAA

The Lindsborg Community Hospital will always try our best to give patients the highest quality health care. As part of the promise to care for them, we keep information about their health private. Until now, this promise was simply part of health care's code of ethics. With the enactment of HIPAA, the idea that patients have the right to privacy and confidentiality became more than just an ethical obligation of physicians and healthcare organizations. It became the law.
