Health Care Information Disclaimer

We remind visitors to the Steward Health Care and affiliated sites that nothing ever takes the place of a personal visit with your doctor. While we are happy to provide as much medical information as possible, if you have any questions about your health, make an appointment and discuss your questions with your caregiver. She or he is in the best position to make decisions with you about what is in your best interest.
