Doctors, hospitals, and others who offer medical services hold all kinds of personal information about patients. Since many services are rendered on credit, they often have data that falls under laws requiring confidentiality and certain document disposal methods, such as shredding.
They also, obviously, keep records about their patient's medical conditions and histories. That data is considered private and must be kept so. For more info about Medical File shredding Call (978)636-0301.
