  • Provide access to services for the identified needs of our patients regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation or any other factor that may form the basis for discrimination.

  • Recognize that there may be situations where conflicts arise related to an employee’s religious or ethical beliefs and cultural or moral values that impact their willingness to participate in certain aspects of patient care. When such conflicts arise, employees will be permitted to request exclusion from certain aspects of patient care. There is no guarantee that the request will be granted, because patient care cannot be compromised.
