Media Policies & Resources
NMHS recognizes the media's role in keeping the community informed. Our staff provides accurate and appropriate information and access while protecting patient confidentiality.
Condition Reports
As required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, we guard the privacy of our patients. Confidential patient information may not be divulged to the media without the patient’s written consent. Also, no photos or video of patients may be taken without a Marketing Department staff member first securing written permission from the patient.
Contact a member of the Marketing Department at marketing@nmhs.net for a patient condition report.
