What we collect
We collect information in two main ways, information you give us and information collected automatically.

Health information and medical records
We treat medical and health information as sensitive. Medical details are used to assess cardiovascular risk, plan care, and monitor progress.
Clinical notes and test results may be stored in an electronic health record and shared with other medical professionals involved in your care, with your consent, or when required by law.
When we share information
We share information only for permitted reasons and only the minimum necessary for the purpose.
- With other health care providers to coordinate treatment and testing.

- With service providers who support our operations, such as electronic health record vendors and analytics providers, under contract terms that protect your data.
- When required by law, for public health reporting, or to respond to a legal process.
We do not sell personal health information. We also limit access to patient records to authorized staff and clinicians who need the information to provide care.
