Patient Privacy Rights is the nation’s leading health privacy advocacy group. We work to restore your right to control personal health information. The current lack of health privacy leads to discrimination in employment, credit, education, and insurance, along with damage to reputations and other lost opportunities. Worst of all, people take actions that put their health and lives in danger, avoiding treatment, medication, or tests, and often lie to their doctors out of fear that their privacy is not being protected. Four out of the last five years Patient Privacy Rights’ Founder, Deborah C. Peel, MD, has been listed in ModernHealthcare magazine’s “100 Most Influential People in Healthcare.”
