Medical Records

We manage each patient's data with an electronic medical record (EMR). This information is used to support patient care services, research, health system reimbursement, and other administrative activities. While our goal is to be a paperless environment, it is often necessary for us to gather information about your medical history from outside sources. In that event, we may ask for your assistance to obtain records or results relating to your previous health care.
