Protecting your health information, including reproductive health information

In June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade led to legal restrictions against some reproductive health services in many states across the U.S. Stanford Medicine operates in California, where laws protect and enable comprehensive reproductive services for our patients. 

No matter where you live or receive care, you may wish to limit access to information about your personal health. This document outlines actions you can take to protect the privacy of your health information, including your reproductive health information.
