CLINICAL CARE SERVICES SECTOR ADVISES PATIENTS NOT TO SEND MEDICAL INFORMATION VIA EMAIL

The MCA Department of Health’s Clinical Care Services Sector is advising the community not to send any medical information to your healthcare provider via email. The Akwesasne Medical Clinic (AMC) and Kawehno:ke Medical Clinic (KMC) do not accept any patient information via email. This includes needs for medications renewals and medical forms.

 

Patients of any healthcare providers in the AMC and KMC should not be sending their medical information to their providers via email as emails are not monitored on a regular basis. This runs the risk of an email being overlooked and vital deadlines, or medication renewal requests, being missed, and could also cause a break in confidentiality.

 

Should any patient of the AMC or KMC need medications renewed, or submission of any medical forms, please directly contact the medical clinic where you receive care. We thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

 

The Akwesasne Medical Clinic can be contacted at 613-575-2341 ext. 3215.

 

The Kawehno:ke Medical Clinic can be contacted at 613-932-5808.
