For the purpose of reasonably protecting these interests, the Union and Providers agree to the covenants set forth below.

This includes information developed by Providers, alone or with others, or entrusted to Providers and/or MHS by its physicians, APPs, employees, vendors, suppliers and/or patients. More specifically, MHS’s confidential information includes, without limitation, information that relates or refers to MHS’s know-how, procedures, techniques, accounting, marketing, patient identities and medical needs, finances, Practice Plans, policies and procedures, protocols, and third-party payor contracts. Providers shall hold MHS’s confidential information in strict confidence and shall not disclose, copy, or use it except as authorized in writing by MHS and for MHS’s sole and exclusive benefit.
