As a hospital, we are often restricted by law as to what information we can release regarding our patients. We hope the following will help you as you prepare your stories. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us or call (916) 734-9040.

For help with emergent stories after hours, on holidays or weekends, you may call the hospital operator at (916) 734-2011 and ask to have the public affairs on-call person paged.

Why don't we say a patient is in "grave" or "guarded" condition? Why don't we provide a prognosis? Learn about California state laws regarding patient confidentiality.
