Our Non-Discrimination Policies

Our policies promise non-discriminatory care.

It’s extremely important to us to have policies in place that unequivocally prohibit discrimination related to sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. These are our core policies forbidding LGBTQ+ discrimination:  

• Our ban on discrimination in patient care
• Our guarantee of equal visitation
• Our ban on discrimination in employment
