Privacy

Gwen Doherty, Privacy Officer

As JPHSA’s Privacy Officer, I would like to provide you with information regarding your right to privacy. 

All individuals receiving services from the Authority have a right to privacy including protection of their confidential information. JPHSA has mechanisms in place to safeguard your information.  These include established policies and procedures.  All employees receive training in, and are required to adhere to, these policies and procedures.  Additionally, physical and electronic safeguards have been implemented.

JPHSA maintains a record of your information, both in written and electronic formats.  While the information maintained in your record belongs to you, the record itself belongs to JPHSA.  Your record may be disclosed for the purposes of treatment, payment and healthcare operations or as required by law without your permission.  All other disclosures require your written authorization.

As an individual served, you have the right to inspect your record, to request an amendment to it if you feel information within your record is incorrect or incomplete, request restrictions on how you are contacted by JPHSA, request restrictions on who may access your record, or request an accounting of disclosures of your information.  These requests must be writing and directed to the Privacy Officer. 

If you have any questions regarding the privacy of your information, or would like to contact the Privacy Officer, please call 504-838-5215, or address your concerns to:  Privacy Officer, 3300 W. Esplanade Ave, Suite 213, Metairie, LA 70002.
