OUR LEGAL DUTY.  We are required by law to protect the privacy of your health information, provide this notice about our privacy practices, follow the privacy practices that are described in this notice, and to seek your acknowledgement of receipt of this notice.  We may change our privacy policies at any time.  Before we make a significant change in our privacy policies, we will change our notice and post the new notice in the waiting area.  You can also request a copy of our privacy notice at any time.  For more information about our privacy policies, please contact the person listed below.
