Email can be an efficient way to communicate with the Marathon Family Health Team for non-urgent matters. If you’re interested in using email to reach us, you’ll need to read and sign the Patient-Provider Email Communication Consent Form.
This form explains how email can be used to communicate with our staff and providers and what you need to know before agreeing. While email is convenient for scheduling appointments or getting general health advice, it does come with risks. For instance, emails could be sent to the wrong person, or someone else might access them. Email is not a secure way to handle urgent or sensitive health issues. Although we will do our best to protect your privacy, we can’t guarantee complete security. By signing the form, you agree to these terms and understand that for urgent matters, you should call the clinic or visit the emergency room instead of using email.
