Healthcare
Healthcare organizations handle some of the most sensitive personal information imaginable — patient charts, medical histories, billing records, insurance claims, consent forms, prescription information, and more. Improper disposal of this data not only undermines patient trust but can also result in serious legal and financial consequences under federal regulations such as HIPAA. Liberty Shredding provides secure, compliant shredding services designed specifically for the healthcare industry, from solo practices and dental offices to large hospitals and multi-site healthcare systems. Our solutions help you protect patient privacy, maintain regulatory compliance, and eliminate risk — whether you need a one-time purge or ongoing record destruction services.
Why Healthcare Providers Need Professional Shredding
Healthcare facilities generate large volumes of protected health information (PHI) every day. Without a secure shredding partner, sensitive documents can end up in regular trash, discarded improperly, or exposed to unauthorized access — all of which can lead to data breaches, HIPAA violations, and costly fines.
Secure shredding protects:
- Patient medical records and charts
- Billing statements and insurance forms
- Lab and diagnostic reports
- Prescription and treatment records
- Appointment logs and consent forms
- HR files and employee data containing PHI
- Digital media containing health information
How Liberty Shredding Protects Your Healthcare Data
We provide flexible on-site and off-site shredding solutions designed to meet the needs of healthcare environments:
- On-site shredding allows your team to witness document destruction directly at your facility.
- Off-site shredding ensures materials are securely transported by trained professionals to our facility for certified destruction.
Every shredding service includes a Certificate of Destruction, providing documented proof that PHI and other sensitive materials were permanently and irreversibly destroyed. This documentation supports regulatory compliance, audits, and internal reporting requirements.
Throughout the entire process, Liberty Shredding enforces strict chain-of-custody procedures. From locked collection containers and secure transportation to verified destruction, every step is controlled to protect confidentiality and maintain compliance.
Healthcare Records We Shred
We securely shred a wide variety of healthcare materials, including:
- Patient files and medical records

- Prescription records
- Laboratory reports
- Appointment and consent forms

Digitally stored media (hard drives, backup tapes, USBs) can also be securely destroyed if required.
Supporting Compliance, Audits & Risk Management
Healthcare providers operate under strict regulatory scrutiny. HIPAA and HITECH require secure disposal of PHI — and penalties for mishandled data can be severe. Partnering with a certified shredding provider like Liberty Shredding helps organizations:
- Maintain HIPAA and healthcare privacy compliance
- Provide audit-ready documentation of destruction
- Protect patient trust and mitigate legal risk
- Avoid costly fines and data breach fallout
