Our Commitment to Patient Rights:

In our commitment to care for you as a whole person, we will respect and protect your rights as our patient.

We respect your role in making decisions about your care. We will provide care in a manner that is sensitive to cultural, racial, religious and other differences. We will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, age, sex, sexual preference, national origin, disability or source of payment.

We will respond to your reasonable requests for treatment and to your health care needs, depending on both the urgency of your situation and on our ability to provide the kind of treatment you may require.

We urge you to participate in decisions about your health care. Talk with your caregivers and actively participate in planning your care to help ensure that the care you receive reflects your dignity, your desires and your values.
