E-card Policy
- E-cards sent via the MHCS website will be distributed to patients in a timely fashion and with consideration of patient's privacy and confidentiality. Delivery cannot be guaranteed.
-
Senders are encouraged to send e-cards to the recipient's personal email address.
- When someone sends an e-card to a patient through the MHCS website, it will be printed by the Director of Patient Care Services Office Monday through Friday, with the exception of holidays. E-cards received off-hours, weekends and holidays will be printed as soon as possible. Printed cards will be distributed by the Director of Patient Care Services Office. If the patient chooses to not accept the e-card, the Director of Patient Care Services Office will shred them.
- If a patient has been discharged the Director of Patient Care Services Office will be responsible to make an attempt to mail the e-card to the patient. If the patient is deceased and when possible, an attempt will be made to send the e-card to the patient's family.
- Cards will be delivered to inpatients only.
- Please keep in mind that these e-cards are printed by a member of our staff, and therefore the message may be seen while ensuring that the message reaches your recipient.
Items considered confidential or private in nature should not be communicated through these emails (i.e., Social Security Numbers, Diagnosis
Information, Credit Card Numbers, etc.).
