Due to laws protecting healthcare information, Summit + CityMD does not offer account deletion. If you are interested in disabling your Summit + CityMD app account so that your account is no longer active, please send us a message at appsupport@summithealth.com and our team will send you a confirmation once your app account has been disabled.

There may be a couple of reasons why. 1. If your child has recently turned 18, your child will need to create their own Summit + CityMD app account and elect to share their health record with you. 2. If your child is age 13 to 17, New York and New Jersey law protect patient privacy and consent around select services and reserves the right to keep their clinical information private from parents, legal guardians, and/or caregivers. If your child has decided to keep their information private, you will not be able to access their account. If you have any questions about this, please contact appsupport@summithealth.com.
