A copy is available to all patients and families and we encourage you to read the privacy practices and reach out to us if you have any questions about how we use your information.

Partnerships and Collaborating Health Systems

We have entered into joint partnerships with other health care providers. Here is a listing of the partnerships and collaborating systems:

Delaware Children’s Health Network

Women's and Children's Health Alliance

Health Information Exchanges

A Health Information Exchange (HIE) is a way to share our patients' medical information electronically between all health care providers participating in the exchange. Authorized health care providers participating in the exchange may supply a patient’s medical information, or receive information about a specific patient. We partner with Health Information Exchanges (HIE) to provide electronic access to your health information. Providing this access can reduce the risk of unnecessary services, duplicate services, prevent delays, and improve the overall quality of the care you receive.
